Made a tentative install date for a week later, but it sucks because its supposeed to get real cold. Can't blame the installers cause I too wouldn't want to work out in the rain. Plan on taking my anger out on some rounds. :smirk:

I'm assuming you've got a low pitch roof, but even so, you can't discount the real increased risk involved in climbing a ladder and working on a slope when everything is slippery and wet. Sure, I'd do it, and I have, but at least I had the incentive of my own selfish interests pushing me on. As much as you want your stove installed, and I certainly relate to that, I'm sure it would not be worth it to you to trade that for somebody slipping and injurying themselves. I'm predicting that your installers are a small operation, possibly with pretty high work comp premiums to meet, or possibly no insurance at all. The risk v. benefit equation is pretty stark when you talk about climbing up and on wet surfaces. Too, you don't want these guys to be in a hurry or possibly cut any corners. Here's something you already know: The #1 incentive and goal of a man working in the rain is to get the job done as quick as possible and get out of the rain.
