Barn Roof Repair

Here's a quick catch up post.  Over the last couple of weeks we have repaired and stabilized the barn roof. I have to tell you, we had an enormous bat family/army move into the barn. You can imagine my dismay. They make these weird squeaky noises in unison. However, the new "appreciate-nature " side of me acknowledges the bats' contribution to the property. Every night, you can see them in swarms eating the mosquitoes. We really don't get too bit up around here. I've been researching bat houses. They sound like a lot of work. I'd rather compromise by allowing the bats to stay in the right side of the barn while I keep the left bat free. I think that sounds reasonable???  Anyways, after that long side note ... We have put flashing on the ridge of the barn roof to discourage any future bats looking for a nice place to stay. We (I.e. Mostly Roger and Rocky) patched all of the holes in the barn
roof. It is significantly drier. Mission accomplished. Alex and I stopped up to supervise :). Good work, guys!!!

  1. Bats are wonderful animals, but they make terrible houseguests! It's good that you were able to patch up the holes in your roof. This will help stop the infestation, and save your home from further damage. Take care!

  2. It’s never fun to have bats residing in your barn and spreading their nastiness inside! Just imagine how gross your barn might’ve become, had they stayed there for a long time. Thank goodness your barn roof got patched up for good! At the very least, you would be saved from the hassle of cleaning up the mess.
