u/Same-LameName

After some serious rain last week (5inches in 24 hours) we noticed our ceiling leaking through a crack in the plaster near the chimney. (See second photo)

We had someone come take a look (first photo set) and were told our flashing was not adequately installed/sealed when we bought the house.

The estimate we were given (photo three) to remove, inspect, and replace the chimney flashing is $1,200.00.

Our house is a 1940 cape cod and the roof is extremely steep.

I am weighing the pros and cons of accepting this quote and letting the professionals handle it versus trying to DIY fix it.

Any advice or suggestion is welcome.

We’re having a microwedding (9 guests) in January in a (non-religious) private ceremony in an English gothic chapel. I’m DIYing makeup and hair. This was a trial run of makeup (haven’t decided whether I like the bold red lip or want to go with something a touch more neutral,) and trying my hair up and down with different veils.

I’m quite certain I like the furs (but which?) but I can’t decide which veil/hairstyle I prefer.

Any and all feedback and suggestions welcome!

Let’s discuss.
