Yes, he actually came then. The plan now is first of all: to have a roofer inspect around the roof to see if and where there is still so much water under the foil and whether it really cannot come from outside (which we had planned anyway), then we should observe for a while when it drips (outside temperature, rain, etc.) and if the outside temperatures fit, it will be redone. To what extent, that will become clear based on the roofer's assessment and depending on how it looks when you properly open it up. He said it could also be that at the relevant spot there is too much space between the insulation and the outer foil and it condenses there. At the moment, unfortunately, it cannot be done anyway because it then becomes almost as cold up there as outside. In that respect, there is still some time now. So far, it only drips occasionally in one spot. The rest of the roof so far apparently still looks okay or at least it is not so bad that it finds its way inside.

Well, not much is left for us at first.

Yes, we can sleep there normally. It’s a corner where only a desk stood before. Now there are 2 buckets hanging from the roof beam.

Of course, it has to be repaired, clearly. But we first need to know where it is still wet. And then we have to see. This won’t be done in 1-2 days. Now the coldest weeks of the year are coming, I don’t want to have it open then.

I will report what the roofer found. But he is not coming until the week after next.

The roofer must definitely document everything with photos and text. You should also somehow get the drywaller's commitment and if you call him again, ask everything and record it. This is permissible in his commercial area. There is potential for trouble in this matter.

Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you!
Best regards Gabriele
