I spent yesterday getting the roof cleaned and prepped. Today my kind nephew agreed to help me apply the first coat of sealant. He is a wizard with the paint roller! Batman remains sidelined from surgery, though he has climbed a rung or six on the ladder when he thought I wasn’t looking. (Seriously, don’t encourage him!)

I’m using Henry’s Tropi-Cool sealant, a thick, white, silicone paint made to hold up to Florida UV rays. So far, their product support line has been very helpful answering each and every one of my dozen or so questions. 

We also managed to squeeze in our family tradition of girls’ pedicures and lunch!

Girl time!
