When you do this to your roof while it's still raining.
I was in the office installing a closet organizer when Kim came in and said something to the effect of "There's water coming in one of the living room windows."
To which I calmly replied, "What the @#$%?" Sure enough she was right, at the top of one of the living room windows, water was seeping in and dripping onto the sill. This window is right in line with one of the skylights, and I conjectured there was a leak around it.
We kicked into action, setting up the step ladder on the back patio so Kim could shuttle concrete blocks from the top of the retaining wall in back up to the roof. I set up the extension ladder in front and spread the tarp out. The tarp we had wasn't large enough to reach the peak of the house, so Kim went to the hardware store to get another tarp. I shuttled more blocks up to the roof. When she returned, I laid out the new tarp. And boy does it look nice!
After the tarps were up, I went up into the attic and confirmed our suspicions. Water was seeping in around the sky light. The whole operation took about 2 hours.
We're hoping to get to know the roofing people later this week.
