At the age of thirty-five, you decide to hire a builder to build your new home. Months down the road the last laborer has left, the grass is starting to grow green and the home is beautiful. You are pleased.
A few years go by and the home is just as wonderful as it was to you that first day it was called finished so many months ago. It has kept your family warm and created a lot everlasting memories, but you feel it could use some brightening up. So tools in hand you set out to install a new skylight all on your own. After all you have seen it done on television many a time, you’ve read a number of home improvement books and by golly you are pretty handy.
Ah it’s wonderful, the fruits of your own labor. The kitchen is so much brighter now! All is well.
Then one day the heavy rains come in. It’s an absolute disaster, apparently there was a minor mistake up above that now has your wood floor looking like some one left a giant class of water on Grandma’s old finished table.
Well, only one thing left to do. Time to call the original roofer (we of course know he does good work) and break out the old checkbook. After all he’s not going to do it for free!
The last line holds true in most cases if the roof simply becomes “out of date” and let’s not even begin to imagine how true it might be if you decide to fire a rocket launcher from your living room!
