Curious if you do get a price. I did some cursory reviewing for a heat pump myself and it looked really expensive, so I moved on for now. You will also need to make sure it is the climate we currently have for summer, which is Southern VA according to many, vs. summers of past. Ha.

Every 12Z I saw is quite wet Sunday except....the GFS.

I saved a ton last year being 3/4 oil (new part of the house is electric). I only paid about $1000 for the entire winter...electric and oil. The temps being so moderate were part of that. Some years oil kills me. I wish gas was available. We are not forced air, we have water heated baseboard via the oil element heating the water. On the roofs, I was just talking to the roof and he said about 80% of roofs being done right now are insurance based because just missing a few shingles will sometimes get you a new roof. I was not so lucky.

I am getting a new roof, and it should look nice. That is a plus. LOL.

What is the use, wind is gonna blow it down within days either way.

That is the issue with people like me, if we lose power and go back to olden times, I am in trouble. No one will want my skill set anymore :-). You have the real skills.

I priced out shingles with Home depot types and it was 7-8k just for the shingles. That better be 20ABV beer then.

That is a big difference. Based on this guy's pricing it would have been about 10K for that size.

How many sq feet of roof do you have? 2400 sq feet is a lot. Our house is very long and is a Hip roof. It is often not related to your house size (at least not directly). But shingle prices are up. I have not asked them for a weather forecast yet.

It really is all about the underlayment. The shingles are nothing for then cover the underlayment and for aesthetic value.

Yea, it is beyond ridiculous. 15K for 2400 SQ feet of shingles/roof. The kicker is that it does nothing for the value of your house. It is 15K that is gone basically. I would never get a metal roof because it also does little to nothing for the value of your house so IMO its only real value is longevity so instead of 25 years you get 50 years. But it costs more than twice as much. Would have been 60K instead of 15K.

I am getting a new roof today so the weather turned out perfect. Meso's still giving us a soaking on Sun.

46 this AM.

Let's break the string right here for those of us that need liquid refreshment. Maybe some will have to move their Sunday plans indoors.

GFS and Icon are rainers as well though not the flood watch variety. The LSV dodging drips leaving the Cracker Barrel after Sunday lunch.

For a moment I thought you were busting the EtaX back out.

Maybe the flood watch should have been saved for Sunday.

I get that way too but would probably not for this series....playoffs definitely. There were times I had to isolate myself because I narrated the whole thing.

Holy RGEM's Batman....from a dry period to a soaker in 6 hours of runs. This is just 3 days out.

I saw one MA poster suggest they would have breathing issues watching the games. But I agree you are playing with house money right now.

It is really sunny out today! Hopefully the Ray's stop shining after sundown tonight.

Early 12z's bringing scattered rain chances back to PA on Sunday as the drying (negative in my book) influence from Lee lets up. EB Nooners...68 and mostly sunny.

The dryness becomes less severe each day just due to less sun and heat evap. With that said, man do we need a lot of rain down here. Latest drought map shows D2 creeping back up toward PA (in WV and VA) with small pockets of D2 in Adams and Franklin that are too small to map per my contact at USGS. Some level of drought designation in parts of 7 LSV counties. Northeast Drought Summary A slow-moving low pressure system resulted in rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the Central Appalachians and Northern Mid-Atlantic. A 1-category improvement was made to areas that received the heaviest precipitation (more than 1.5 to 2 inches) and there was a positive response among the indicators. Northern West Virginia missed out on this past week's precipitation and there was a small increase in moderate drought (D1) for that area. Based on NDMC’s drought blends, the drought impact for the Central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic was changed from “S” (short-term) to “SL” (short and long-term).

51 this AM. Lots of 40's to the north in Franklin and Cumberland.
