Hey Sweetie,
Had a busy day today, first getting a laser treatment at Val's, then a drive into Ocala to the SSA building where, miraculously, my 10:30 appointment actually happened at 10:32! When I walked in the place was packed, I figured I'd be waiting awhile, but they had quite a good system, and since all they wanted was to see my ID, I was only there for about five minutes. On my way back, I stopped at a hardware store (well, two, to get what I needed) because I had decided that it didn't make much sense to put fresh sealant over stripped screws, so first thing this morning, I went hunting for the type of screw that would work, and managed to find one, slightly bigger and longer, but worked like a charm. So on my way home, I picked up three 100-count packages to make sure I had enough. I postponed my usual lunch with Helen until tomorrow so I could get this job done today, which I almost did! I replaced all the bad screws, ran another coat of alcohol to clean it up, then finally got busy with the actual lap sealant. It worked beautifully! Unfortunately, I didn't have enough. I had bought four tubes for the vents, but that only took one tube, and I had another one already, so I had five to use. I hoped that would be enough, but it wasn't. I did managed to get about 3/4 of it done, and most importantly, the part around the AC. Last night after going to bed, I heard dripping and discovered that water was coming out of one of the light fixtures, so obviously the condensation was pooling and running through the roof to the ceiling. I had put some towels down, but on the other side of the AC, not where it was actually leaking. Anyway, I managed to get it mostly done, and I ordered another six tubes, since I still have to redo all the little components on the roof (besides the vents), like a couple of antennas and the sunroof over the shower, which I'll try to get done asap. Much smaller projects, so it shouldn't take as long (famous last words!) I did run the AC for awhile, though I waited almost the whole requisite four hours (before the sealant is deemed waterproof), and had the towels in the right place, so hopefully no water got in the ceiling. Exhausting, hot on the roof, but productive day! Had a relaxing evening, hot tub, shower and tea, ready for bed soon! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
