Bug it!

This is a leak free workplace.  It has proudly been ZERO days since the last incident!

Yep, well ...yeah, another leak, sigh.  A couple weeks back I sealed one long roof seam with Acryl R and the other long roof seam with Tempro 635.  Just doing my best for you all in the name of research.... The plan was to check them in the spring to see which held up better.

Well the Acryl R seam was leaking in at least two areas.... and winter is coming (said in my very best Game of Thrones imitation).   So I got up on the roof, removed the Acryl R and used Trempro 635.  It rained last night and I was worried about whether it had cured.  So I grabbed my camera and when I looked at the roof seam I see this.  Ignore the morning dew, concentrate on the seam, this was about 6 inches of it.

Every mother-loving black fly left in the Northeast committed suicide on my roof seam.   LITERALLY hundreds.  It was like 40 degrees, there shouldn't have been ANY black flies with 100 miles of my roof!

Well they better "wear off" cause I'm not doing it again. Just saying.

Update, well it POURED 2 inches today, think I got this licked, the only thing that leaked was where the wind blew it in the refrigerator roof vent.  Might have to think of someway to put a waterproof pan under the frig.

PS  Yes, I checked, the bugs are still there :(
