It turns out the storm that made our incomplete roof start leaking was the same one that produced a quasi-tornado in New York City yesterday. The second storm didn't cause any leaks, and the light rain we've had since then is just rolling off the roof like it's supposed to. After we had a meeting this morning up in the attic, they decided to replace the big cast-iron vent pipe that is sticking out of the roof, because that seems to be where a lot of the problem was during the big storm. Luckily the old cast iron part is already tied into a new PVC part about five feet down, so it should be an easy job. They are up on the roof now putting up extra tarps, just in case, and they are going to add some more ice and water barrier material higher up on the roof than they had planned. Then they'll bring in a mold expert in a few weeks to go up in the attic and make sure nothing got started up there when it got wet last night.
But the rain is slacking off now, and the forecast has a lot of sunny days coming up. I hope we've escaped disaster!
Whew!
