My wife has left the building and volunteered at the princess's school for the week again so she's safe too. Actually I'd like to be there when they replace the skylight coz I wanna make faces and fire paper clips at them. <em>Les Says: Considering how long it took to get a roofing company to even show up, I'm going to refrain from pissing them off if at all possible... but now I'm really jealous of the skylight.

BANG! BANG!, but why, oh, WHY do they have a big, beezery saw?! What do roofers need to cut? Holes in roofs, so they can justify their existence? You picked the wrong time to give up booze. <em>Les Says: Funny you should say... these guys, actually (well, Larry, anyway) seem to know what they're doing.

Landlady's son then put up a new laundry room ceiling. Next time it rained... hmmmm.... It's taken this long to find another roofer; who had to cut AROUND the hole now formed in the brand new, soggy ceiling, and pull out all kinds of mushy crap. Building gets a whole new roof, though.

Do you live in Montreal? I was imagining all this racket around you, and I thought Cathcart St. sounds familiar (altho God knows how many streets in other countries are called this!) but just a gut feel, so thought I would ask!
