I KNEW it was bad luck to sign a contract for our new roof (thanks to last summer’s hurricanes) on the first day of the new hurricane season. We’ve had nothing but problems since then. Our fashionable blue tarp, which has been quietly doing its protective duty for the last 10 months, began to fail [...]
