and easiest for you.

from what i saw on local news, i can only imagine what you have to deal
with with your roof. as for what has to be done, i have an idea. my first
and only roofing work was covering a double gable roof i put on my 12x16
'yard barn' i built. it took me 4 days, but it is straight and all in line.
i even tared down each shingle to protect against high winds.

it is understandable that you will be delayed due to roof.

just keep a plastic sheet handy for computer in case it rains before
roof gets fixed. ;)

it has been my pleasure and i hope that all goes well with both roof
and computer.

just remember the "6 p's";

  proper planing prevents piss poor performance.


looking forward to "[SOLVED:]".


later.
