It is so noisy! And disconcerting.
Necessary but annoying

Catman had that done a few years ago. Drove the cats crazy. I was afraid it would give my daughter seizures but no. She either laughs or falls asleep. I on the other hand am on edge. There was a lot of wood rot and the repair is noisy! My mother in law died as a new roof was being put on. Maybe that's what is bugging me too. Poor lady! (The roof was planned way before) I understand your cats being on edge! |

I know it's not the same way but I was on edge when the guys were up there cleaning the ice dams and clearing all the ice off the roof this past winter. Hearing someone stomping over your head is unsettling.

Hearing someone stomping over your head is unsettling. It is! I might be more nervous with your ice situation Being afraid they'd slip off. I keep thinking 'thank God I don't live in a bottom floor apartment' I remember people tromping around above head! |

Squirrels and raccoons dance on Catman's roof all the time. Sounds like the buggers are wearing combat boots.

At least most tenants eventually sleep I live in a house now, but for some reason, that never really bothered me hearing people walk around above me. In some ways I felt safer because I felt less alone. The only problem was when women lived above me and insisted on wearing CLOGS and scuffing their feet while stomping in the kitchen. There's no need to wear shoes and boots in the house on hard floors. But just generally walking? Yeah, I'm okay with that. Usually. But now that I'm in a house, I've grown quite accustomed to.........(sing it with me)....The Sound, of Silence.

I'm feeling a little but it still hurts. We have a cathedral ceiling. I think the noise echoed in that room. |

Our landlord put a new roof on our building about 10 years ago. I remember the din when the old roof was being torn off. And, I'm not on the top floor.
However, the result is comforting, during rain storms.

We track in germs and disease I'm much more aware of it now because of COVID. It's causing me to take many more precautions, so I have a greater appreciation. I can't believe I tracked that gunk in throughout my house for so long.
