If you’ve been following my latest misadventure you know about my roof leaking. I was dubious about finding a roofer.
However, I was lucky today.
The first roofer I called was able to come look at the roof. Even better, his wife is one of my former students and really likes me. She was telling her roofer husband what a great teacher and person I am. I think that translated into a good deal. He put tar on a several places that were obvious leak points and he didn’t charge me anything. Now I don’t know if that is because of his wife or because he says the leaks were caused by hail and he thinks my insurance company will pay the total cost of a new roof minus the deductible.
I went by my insurance agent’s place and filed a claim. The adjuster called and he will be here tomorrow at 2:30 hopefully with the roofer in tow.
Stay tuned for My Leaky Roof v3.

That turned out to be a good reference, the wife being a student of yours. I am waiting to see V3

Oh, good! 🙂
See, it pays to be a great teacher and a great person! Oh, I know you are all that and more…just naturally…just being you. But, it’s nice when it comes back in your favor. 🙂
I hope it all goes well!
I will sit here and wait until you post The Leaky Roof v3!

Looks like a two hump day. 🙂
It was nice that she remembered me. She was my student 15 years ago.

That is so cool! 🙂
I love hearing from my former students! I don’t know why…but it always amazes me that they remember me fondly…as I was their K teacher and they’ve had a million good teachers since then. 🙂

It is really nice. It makes me feel like I’ve made a difference.

Oh! I meant to comment on the unrelated photo…is that a flamingo?! Stunning color!
I guess he wasn’t on your roof?! 😉

Yes, it’s a flamingo. I believe it was on the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.

Thank you. I’m not sure what will happen next. I have to wait to hear from the insurance company.

Wonderful news about the roof being patched and not having to pay at all. You made a wonderful impression on his wife when she was your student, and that says that you were an excellent teacher.
Great photo and it that a flamingo.
