Good morning @papilloncharity,

these are good news, so your weather will change and should become nice in the next days 🙂

I don't know if you have to make such a plan here if you only want to replace an existing roof, but I don't think so. When my parents have renewed the roof of their house they have just done it ;)
I think that's just one more way to make money.

That's a weird situation you are in, but it's good that you take care of you and the others.

Cheers and !BEER
