Open Roof, Insert Tsunami

Well, the roof came off and the rain came down.

In buckets.

And it's not supposed to stop until Saturday night.

The plastic on top of the new subfloor couldn't hold back the water and it came pouring through into the shop below.

The previously finished drywall shop ceiling absorbed water until it couldn't and then flopped to the floor.

On the plus side, once the rain stops and the drywall is mucked out, we'll have easy access to the underside of the new subfloor for plumbing, electric and ductwork.

The power washer guy came in the rain, since we couldn't flood the shop below more than the rain already was, and we tried a test patch of sealer on the timbers. While it's still wet in the photo, and darker than it will dry, it at least gives you an idea of what the timbers will look like.
