In the days that pass, something lingers. Looks turning longer, something unspoken in the way you circle each other.
You wonder, if you would reach out and touch it - what would happen?
After the window, comes more.
You find him poking around, letting his hands wander rather than keeping them close. Jammed deep into his pockets.
Checking the other windows for drafts. Peering up the chimney, looking at the pipes under the sink.
It's like that night had knocked something loose. Given him something to do.
Noticing the drip in the shared bathroom, the small one off the hall. A spot where the ceiling has cracked - the wood stained from years of melted snow, dripping through. Beneath a part of the roof had broken off some years ago, rotting with age.
Most of the time you tuck a cooking pot beneath it. There’s not much more you can do.
But he finds it.
And you find him, balanced on a rickety chair, looking closely at the seams of the wooden ceiling. Fingers tracing along it, trying to find where the wood is weak.
And you’re trying not to look where his shirt rides up. The peek of skin above the waistline of his jeans. The edge of a pink scar near his abdomen, slowly healing.
“You got a leak.” He tells you, as your eyes snap up.
As you shrug helplessly, “I know. It’s been there a while.”
There’s a bit of the sealant left he made for the window, in the days before. Not quite right for this job, but much like the glass - it’ll make do.
The space in the bathroom narrow - barely enough room for the chair, jammed between the toilet and the sink. Your hands holding the back steady as he reaches for the spot in the sloped ceiling.
Working together, in this small space.
Handing him the stuff he needs, as he patches up another wound in your home.
Making it just a little better, for you.
Still finding himself looking.
Unable to stop, now.
When you mention offhand that the generator sounded off the last time you used it - it's no time at all before you're crouching outside, lifting the metal cover so he can peer inside.
A flashlight aimed where he tells you, with the afternoon light already starting to go dim.
You have to lean into him to point where you had heard the sputtering, during the last bad storm. A hand jamming back into the pockets of your jacket to keep it warm.
It only takes him a few minutes of poking around to figure it out - going back into the barn to grab supplies.
"You should stay here, where it's warm." He tells you, an empty gas can tucked under his arm.
But you're already holding the door open, shaking your head, "I gotta learn this while I still have you. Won't be around forever, right?"
There's a long moment, as he looks at you. Before he's nodding, almost as if he had forgotten.
"Right."
Just like before, he explains everything patiently. As you watch, directing you where to point the light. Showing you where the leftover gas had separated, going bad when you had left it in there, instead of letting it run out.
Fingers brushing as you help him drain it, his chin pressing against your shoulder to reach the valve, when he shoves the old can beneath. Hands soon grease-covered and cold, but you don't mind.
You've soon realized you liked this side of him. Coming out, over the past few days.
Almost protective.
Even if you have to focus to keep his smooth drawl from going right in one ear and out the other.
Unable to concentrate on anything other than his voice.
He tells you it's in okay shape. A hestiance to his words, but he does his best to scrub the carburetor clean with the supplies you've gathered for him. Watching as he inspects the fuel lines - anything else he notices.
The sun is low now, the temperature dropping. A chill makes you shiver, the clatter of teeth as they clench together.
"Almost done." He soothes, taking a moment to fish the gloves out of his pockets.
Breathing into them to warm them, before fitting them over your hands. They're too big, but they are soft - the fleece wrapping around your aching, stiff fingers.
The smallest shift in his stance as he does. Nudging you a little closer to the generator, so his back takes the brunt of the icy wind.
"Better?" Joel asks, voice low and gruff.
You smile, unable to help it as you answer.
“Yes.”
———
The heavy closet door opens with a drawn-out creak. Your boot keeps it open as your eyes run over the shelves, looking for the extra pillows, blankets.
A thick snow has kept you inside for two days now. Falling heavily enough to block the front door from opening fully - keeping the three of you tucked inside.
The chill permeates the edges of the cabin, even with the kept fire. A worn quilt tucked under one arm as you gaze snags on a flash of faded color, just above eye level.
"Do you guys like board games?" You ask, from over your shoulder. Rummaging around, pushing some thread-bare towels to the side.
The cardboard boxes rattle with pieces as you pull them to the edge of the shelf, taking stock, "We got Guess Who, Boggle..."
"Do you have Aggravation?" Joel asks dryly, from where he's standing - looking out the window. All the valleys and dips smoothing out and disappearing - a white blanket of untouched snow. Something he does often, keeping watch.
Ellie's eyes are rolling, checking him with her hip as she comes to peer into the closet with you. The fruit-ripe thought of beating him at something too much of a temptation to pass up.
Drawn to two of them - Scrabble, and a kitschy monopoly variant. The Texan flag splashed across the cover, the box broken on one side. Both well-loved by the time they had arrived here.
You still remember the stories of how many of the things here were picked up at garage sales. Bringing in small glimpses of their lives before.
That feels fitting, now. Even they have ghosts.
You drop off the blankets you had been searching for - two in the guest room for Ellie. The longest for Joel, along with the pillow.
Wishing you could do more for him.
You've seen the hand that braces on his back the past few days. Sore from sitting for so long, for sleeping in a cramped space.
If you think he'd take you up on it, you'd trade places. Let him take your room for a while, let him stretch out.
But you're certain he'd never agree.
You can't pretend you haven't thought about alternatives as well. But god, you don't have the guts to ask that, either. Even if there was room enough for two.
Not right now, anyways. Not yet.
She totes the games to the table, letting them drop onto the wooden top. Folding herself into the chair as she glances expectantly at Joel, his final look out the window as he slides in next to her.
His eyes drag slowly over the box, before they flick up towards Ellie. She glances at him, the barest hint of hesitance mixing with the assurance of her posture.
"Thought you might like it." She tells him, as she flips the lid open.
There's a moment where you're not sure. His own emotions mixed across his face, as you try to make the connections.
His manners, when he felt like it. The drawl of his voice - the way he blinks at her, before nodding slowly.
He's from there, you realize. Texas, though you guess it's been a long time.
Joel gives her a small smile, one with fondness, "Might be nice to remember."
Missing the way his expression drops after, when she turns to give you a thumbs up.
Indulging in a painful memory for her, as he picks up the instructions - a low murmur as he starts to read through them.
She's snatching them out of his hand to read them aloud, as you start setting up the board.
Half the pieces missing, some of the metal tokens replaced with coins, a small toy dinosaur that she scoops up mid-sentence.
A chunk of the money replaced with ripped pieces of paper, the denominations hastily scribbled on them.
You don't know if you've ever sat down to actually play this. Remembering the box, for sure. The stories told, about how it arrived.
But never taking the time.
There hadn't seemed to be a moment for it, this brief breath of air.
Ellie's ill-concealed interest warms the room. All of you loosen with each round, as the stakes grow higher and higher.
Picking up more small things about them. How she's crafty - strategic.
Hiding her money under the board, so you never know how much she has. Only buying what she needs, skipping over the rest.
Joel buys everything, in an attempt to keep it from both of you. Even if it doesn't make sense, even if it's a bad move.
Rarely seeming to notice though, when she lands on his space. Feigning ignorance unless she draws attention to it.
But never seeming to miss it when it's your turn.
You catch on quickly. Playing fairly, though a softness sits in your chest as he tries to let her get ahead. Hoping she won't catch on, and she doesn’t. Too distracted by the lure of winning.
Finding yourself distracted, when his legs stretch out beneath the table. Bumping against yours when he shifts. Making you think about the afternoon with the window.
How close he had been, when he fit it back into place. When you had helped him hold it steady, hips digging into the kitchen counter.
His own pressing against yours, pinning you for the briefest second.
Thinking about it now, has your cheeks heating. It has you almost missing your turn, the dice clattering loudly against the table as you roll.
Forcing yourself back into the present, to this moment - as Ellie crows a crass “suck it!” when your token lands on a faded space that reads Blue Bell Ice Cream, her hand held out expectantly.
The paper peeled from your dwindling stack, handed over with a flourish.
The game continuing - the stakes increasing with each turn. Another two round passing, a roll where Joel owes almost more than he has.
You don't know where it comes from. Maybe your tongue loosens with the fun, a soft tease, as you tell him, "It's a good thing you went into contracting, and not real estate."
The look he gives you after - tongue poking into his cheek, as he shakes his head. A bitten back smile, as he tells you, “Can’t be good at everything, can I?”
It burrows in to your chest.
Another moment when he laughs at a lucky roll - and you think it's the best thing you've heard all day.
Tucking away the way he looks when he smiles - an expression that finds his face so rarely. Eyes that crinkle at the edges, the twitch of his lips as he tries to hold it back, before the sound bursts forth.
An afternoon, quickly passing. Almost feeling like before.
The gift of a day that you never thought you'd have, again.
———
He’s too warm. Crammed on the far edge of a sofa that certainly wasn’t built for three.
The quiet solace - a rare moment of silence in the cabin - interrupted with the door creaking open.
A swirl of snowflakes and a biting chill following them inside, with their stamping boots and ice-cold noses. Breaking through the layer of snow to check on Callus, coming back tired.
Shedding their thick layers - Ellie the first to squeeze on the couch, next to the fire. Coaxing her over with a pat to the spare cushion next to them.
A laugh, as she fits herself in. Near pressed shoulder-to-shoulder, an elbow digging into his side. A familiarity to it all, that makes his chest throb.
He moves - an arm draped across the back of the couch. Almost touching her shoulder, as Ellie gets more comfortable between them.
Laughter as they fell him about something funny that had happened outside - the look on the woman’s face as she had tripped over a snowbank - each recount more exaggerated.
The sound of their joy blending in the small space.
He envies her. He realizes that now.
How the encouragement comes so easily. Gentle and genuine and he sees the way Ellie soaks each one in. The words not bitten back, strangled and broken.
There’s so much held back. Thoughts that claw their way out of his mind, only to die on his tongue.
Almost choking him in Jackson, as he spilled his sins and fears to Tommy. He’s afraid that if he opens his mouth, he might do the same to her.
She doesn’t know him. The things he’s done. In the QZ - for Ellie - it didn’t matter. He would have done all of it, again.
But what would she think of him? The real him, not this twisted version of himself she’s come to know. Softened in a space where things felt like before, all of his sharp edges dulled. Leaving him on unsteady feet.
He’s never cared, before now. Hell of a time for his conscious to come knocking. The world has been grey for a long time, and his had been longer than that.
Because if he was a good man - likes he used to be - they would have left already. Not lingering, because he sees how happy Ellie is. How she feels safe, for the first time in months.
He certainly wouldn’t be spending the late night hours thinking, wondering.
About those small moments.
The feel of her against him - the way the woman seems to gravitate towards him, when they’re alone. When she doesn’t move away from their forced closeness, leaning into it instead.
Another that comes in the early morning, when his eyes open, finding her in the kitchen. A greediness in the way his gaze takes a second to linger. Over damp hair, her form wrapped in a robe, bare feet and legs beneath.
An urge to tug at the knot around her waist, with fingers stained with so much red. To see it open, unfurl. Soaking in the soft skin beneath - finding out if she’s untouched by the horrors. Or if she’s marked, like he is.
Seeing if her mouth would tip up to his. Parting, like her robe. Opening, for him.
He knows the way his name sounds - and it makes him wonder how it would sound broken on a moan. If it’s as pretty as her laughter, now.
If that look she gives him so very often has any truth behind it.
It’s wrong to think this way. Not after she’s invited them in. Given them a place to stay, the clothes off her back.
Because he’s sure of one thing - if she knew, she wouldn’t want him.
Not the way he wants her.
———
You stare up at the ceiling. Finding patterns in the knots in the wood, arms spread wide against the rug.
It’s late, the cabin smelling like white tea and sage from the candles you pulled out. Down to the good ones, the smells you’ve saved for last.
Ellie is on the floor beside you - finding you there when she comes out of the side room, hungry for dinner. Joining you silently, offering a handful of stale trail mix, the sounds of crunching filling the space.
You didn’t see Joel come in after, collecting firewood from the barn, but you heard the heavy sound of his feet. The stack of the logs, the creak as he fits himself into one of the wooden chairs.
If you lifted your head, you might catch where he hovers, near your ankles. But you don’t know if you have the energy today.
These bouts hitting you, as time passes. Moments where the weight of it all feels like too much. A tightness in your chest that aches, and you can’t reach in to soothe it.
Maybe it’s a strange way to calm yourself, but they don’t comment. As you count the beams overhead, along with your breaths.
Eventually, there’s the clearing of a throat. The words coming slowly, like he’s calming a wild animal, “You uh, doin’ okay down there?”
You can image the looks Ellie must have been throwing his way - not one to ask on his own accord.
It gets you moving, your head finally tilting their way. The unease on their features has guilt prickling down your spine, up your neck.
“Yeah.” You try a smile, but it’s weak, “The memories just get to me, sometimes. There’s so many in these walls.”
A wrinkle of your nose, then. Their attention making you shy, your hand waving in the air dismissively, “Sorry, you don’t want to hear about all that. I’m sure you’ve both have been through enough.”
There’s a glitter in Ellie’s eyes.
It’s one you recognize. So strange now, that living through the horrors can make you want to talk about it. An sickening urge to compare the shit you’ve seen.
Mine was worse than yours - or - at least what happened to me wasn’t that bad.
It’s almost comforting, making those connections.
“You can tell us.” She coaxes, as her head tilts.
You could be ready. Dancing around them and this place for the weeks that Joel and Ellie have been here. Her words prying at the box that you locked around your heart years ago.
Cracking it open.
You swallow, throat dry, before you nod. Going back to the grain of the wood, not wanting to look at them again just yet.
“I didn’t always live here. I was in school, college, during the outbreak. Had just gone back after the summer, but that day I had been heading back home. Someone close to me was having a hard time. You know how high school is. I wanted to make sure they were okay.”
These words are easy. They’re ones you’ve said before, almost rehearsed.
“I was on the road, when I heard all the sirens. It was awful. Nobody knew what was going on, and I'm still not sure how I made it out. But, I never made it home. It's hard not to wonder, you know?”
It’s rhetorical. Ellie would be too young to know what it had been like. You’re certain that Joel didn’t have to wonder, and that was the burden he carried with him every day.
Because if he hadn’t known, you think he’d still be out there.
“But, I made some friends after a while. Ran with them for a long time. Did some things I’m not proud of, but if it was them or us we always picked them.”
Casey, and Morgan. And him. His name still too raw a wound - anger and grief still blending.
A breath then, as you push through.
“My partner had family in this area, and remembered the old cabin. An aunt and uncle living off the grid. Almost blew our heads off when we arrived,” The memory of that night makes you smile.
Aunt June.
Danny.
That’s how they had introduced themselves - like they were already family - and it had stuck. Taking you into their home, making room where there wasn’t any.
Bringing dawn after years of darkness - you had never quite recovered from the fear and the horror.
But they had brought you as close as they could. They became the family you had needed.
“They let us stay. It was cramped, but it was good.”
Your words peter out. A brief reprieve - as if everything would stay just like that, if you didn’t continue.
“What happened to them?” Ellie’s voice breaks through the silence, voice hushed.
Unable to help asking, wanting to know how the story ended.
This part has only lived in your thoughts. Festering there, not knowing the sound of your spoken words.
Another breath, rattling in your chest. As you still lay on the floor, arms spread. Dissected by the memories, a prod to something painful as you begin the end.
“My partner was with me when it happened. Just the two of us. We were on watch one night, we used to walk the perimeter together. I'd watch one side, and he'd watch the other. Make sure everything was fine.”
It’s why you still walk it. Holding onto that last memory. Thinking you’ll see him, where you used to meet in the middle.
“There was... screaming. I'll never forget it.”
For a second, it feels like you’re there. The crunch of the leaves under your feet, as they had just started to fall. The lights that had seemed to glow so warmly from the cabin. Beckoning you back home.
“We rushed back, and they had torn each other apart. I think… I think Danny had gotten bit, when he had done a supply run the day before. Hadn't been sure, so he kept it quiet. The strong but silent type, you know?"
You say you think, because you can’t bear to go into the details. How you knew, because you had held Morgan in your arms, as they had tried to tell you. Tried to warn you. Not knowing it was too late.
Not knowing everyone had been bitten. Or was already near-gone, struck down during the attempt to stop him.
He had been a large man. Tall and strong - something that had used to make you feel safe.
It had made him unstoppable.
“We were the ones that had gone out, so we took all the best weapons with us. Never thought the danger was inside.”
There’s a tightness in your throat that has you stumbling over the words. Still blaming yourself, after all this time.
The brush of something, at your ankle. A weight, pressing into the side of your foot. It’s not the same as a hand in yours, but it’s close enough.
“So we... dealt with them. Buried them all." There's a finality in the way you say the words. The part you can't take back, the one you can't wonder about, anymore. You knew how their story ended.
But there's still the last piece, one that hurt the most. One you still struggled with, even though a part deep down, knows.
"My partner wasn't the same, after that. It was awful, but for him - it was his family.” These are the words you choke on, your jaw gritting.
“A couple weeks went by, and one day, he went out. Told me they needed some time alone. Never came back.”
And that's where your life had stopped, for the second time. Already shattered after that night in the cabin. But when he left, time had stood still.
Ellie shifts, turning onto her side. Cheek pressing into the palm of her hand as she frowns, "Did you go looking for him?"
There's a sort of naivety to her question that tugs at you, slamming you back into the present. You turn over too - trying to smile, "Yeah. Combed over every inch of this place, for miles."
It was six years ago. Hanging open-ended - heavy. You've only somewhat to terms with it. Never talked about it out loud, until now.
"But sometimes, things just happen. It's fine. I'm sure you know." You hedge, feeling strange and empty after your long confession. Perhaps better than before, when you were lost.
Though you fear the pity that might come after, not wanting it. Trying to defect, now - grasping for anything. Spying the box, still left out, "Are you from Texas too, Ellie?"
"What do you reckon'?" She grins, in an exaggerated version of Joel's drawl.
It's unexpected, making you laugh. The breath of fresh air you needed. Relieved, that your horrors hadn’t harmed her.
Sad, in a way, that they had not. If it meant that hers were worse. That makes your throat feel the tightest of all.
"Boston," She clarifies, "They have a QZ there."
"Boston? Holy shit." Your voice pitches up. It feels like a world away, "Is that where you left from?"
It’s the perfect opening.
The distraction not even intentional - because the thought of being in a place so far from your own is so incredibly fascinating,
"Did you come from there?" The questions bubble up, now that the door is open, "What is a QZ like?"
Ellie's eyes roll, as she pushes herself up, "They sound great but it's like living in hell."
As she fills you in, about her classes. About how she was going to end up as just another officer - about the ration cards, the curfew. How bad things were, in the end.
How they’d had to sneak out, to leave.
Then, about the one they had been to in KC.
How they had gotten blocked, had to go around. Winding up downtown, lost in a town that had revolted - driving FEDRA out.
“You should have seen it! This guy was calling for help, but Joel knew it was a trap and just blew right by him." Her admiration shines in her eyes, to his embarrassment.
"That's where we met-"
Something catches her then, the words running out. Joel's face turning worried, his eyes flickering from yours to hers.
Your own bouncing around the room again, landing on the table this time. Pushing yourself up, as you smile.
"I'm getting hungry. How about you kick Joel's ass at Scrabble again, and I'll start dinner?"
She blinks, coming back. Nodding automatically, before she's fully pulled from her own memories.
But she recovers more quickly than you, as she reaches for Joel's sleeve.
"Only if he doesn't try to pull that dumb shit again. Zwing isn't a word, Joel."
He doesn't protest, lets her pull him from the chair, "There ain't a websters here, you can't prove that."
Giving you a small smile, in thanks.
———
He finds you, later.
With words he couldn't share before. In the dim hallways, where you carry the candle. Checking the windows and doors before bed.
"Had a partner, like yours." He tells you, the shadows from the light highlighting the weariness in his face.
Golden light and deep, blue shadows, "Lost ‘em a little after we got started with Ellie."
Joel's jaw grits, a look you've come to know well. Eyes finally lifting to yours, "Think she took it hard. Didn't want to bring it up. But..."
But he knows. Knows what it's like. But he doesn't have to wonder, like you do. You can see that in his weariness, the sorrow that clings to him.
Still trying to protect Ellie. Remembering, because he’ll never forget - but trying to shield her.
But wanting to tell you. A small attempt at comfort.
"I'm sorry." You tell him.
He nods. Unable to say the words back.
But it's there. Wrapping around you like the shadows, as you blow out the light.
———
As more days pass, you don’t think you’re imagining it. Not anymore.
It’s been a long time, but it’s not like you’ve forgotten. The world has changed - but he’s from before, like you.
Some things still lingering. Long looks, his eyes already on you, when your find his.
It’s a bad idea, you know that. You can’t afford to get attached, any more than you already are.
But the small stolen moments of joy these past few weeks warm you, making you bold. Reading deep into the way he’s started to stand so close.
A hand on the small of your back, when he passes you in the kitchen. A smile, that seems to come just a tiny bit easier.
It doesn’t have to mean anything.
You know it can’t - it won’t.
But you still can’t help thinking about it. Acting on that budding attraction - finding out what it would be like to not be so lonely at night. To find out what it would really be like to touch him, the way your fingers have been aching.
Daydreaming about a way to find out. One that wouldn’t make him uncomfortable - one that he could brush off, that you could explain - if you had read things wrong.
Even if you don’t think you have.
An opportunity finds you, as you find him. Standing alone in the kitchen, a small pot of water boiling. Watching his profile as he stares out the window - looking at the blanket of stars above the tall, snow-covered trees.
Splitting it silently between two mugs, just enough of your instant coffee to pass as a treat. A smile, as you realize one is for you.
Another twinge at the way he seems to move so easily now. Dual-edged. Moving fluidly because he’s healing. Knowing where stuff is because he’s become accustomed to where you keep things.
Your time is ticking down. If not tonight, then when?
He hands you a mug - the one you always drink from. Leaning against the counter as he glances where Ellie sleeps solidly and deeply on the couch, an old comic book laying beneath her outstretched hand.
You smile as you watch her, before taking a sip. A deep sigh, as your hands wrap around, warming them.
The words coming easily, tonight.
“You’ve done a lot of hard work around here.” Your voice is soft and low, and his gaze drags your way, “Was wondering if you’d let me thank you properly?”
A gentle verbal prod, as your hip bumps against his. Where he stays, letting you lean into him.
His eyes dark, in the dim light. A moment where his lips press together, a short inhale of breath, “Think we’re just about square. Seein’ as you’ve been keepin’ us, and all.”
Ah.
Maybe you have been wrong, after all.
A long moment, as your brows furrow. As your smile turns small, your voice even smaller.
“Suppose you’re right. It was silly of me to offer.”
Feeling stupid, as you bring the cup to your mouth. Downing most of it in a long sip - not wanting to waste it. Not wanting to linger in your rejection.
The mug clatters a little too loudly in the sink - the thoughts already running through your mind.
Telling you that you ruined a nice thing - a urge to get out of there, and lick your wounds.
“Thank you.” You manage, unable to meet his eye.
“Goodnight, Joel.”
Leaving him in the moonlight, as you retreat.
———
It’s late.
He’s pacing, left wondering. Unable to sleep, feeling like he missed something.
Going over her words, that bright expression that had turned so dull.
Had he missed something, while he had been admiring? Too lost in the slow sweep of his eyes?
Thrown by her question - an urge to convince her that she’s done more than enough. That she’s been too good to them already.
That his help didn’t scratch the surface.
Going back to her words, again. A jolt in his stomach as he remembers how - for a second - he had thought there was another layer to her words.
Hidden in her expression, soft and hopeful.
Certain he was wrong.
His feet slowing, as he realizes.
Ah, fuck.
———
It’s after midnight, when you hear the knock. Just a short rap of knuckles - you almost miss it. Pulling you from a half-sleep, just drifting off.
You definitely weren’t waiting. Secretly hoping.
That would be silly, right?
Scrubbing a hand over your face as you pad out of bed, opening the door. Your heart swooping into your stomach when you see him standing there, shoulder leaning against the frame.
An expression you’ve never seen on his face.
Apprehension?
“Joel.” You blink up as him, his name coming as a soft gasp. A moment, before you offer, “Do you want to come in?”
He follows slowly, hands jamming into the pockets of his jeans after pulling the door shut behind him. Still fully dressed - his eye sweeping around the room before they land on you.
Cutting right to the chase, by a man not used to mincing words.
“Been a long time, since someone asked me somethin’ like that.” He rasps, “Almost didn’t catch it. You must think I’m a damn fool.”
Your teeth sink into your lip, as a relief floods though you - as you hold back a smile. Hope seeming to ignite, in the form of a small flame in your belly.
“I thought you weren’t interested.” You confess, with a shrug, “Which… I understand. Really.”
There’s a change in his expression then. Flickering to surprise, the slight raise of his eyebrows, the curve of his mouth as his head tilts.
“Maybe I ain’t the only fool here, then.”
The pitter-patter of your heart jumps, turning into a thrumming beat. A hitch in your breath as you look at each other, slowly considering.
You haven’t done this before. Suggested it - asked for it. Not sure how to begin, when it wasn’t desperate fumbling in the dark.
“You change your mind ‘bout thankin’ me?” He asks with a frown - and you’re shaking your head.
Embarrassed, as you tell him, “No. Not at all.”
He takes a step forward, hands sliding from his pockets. Palms open, hanging at his sides.
“Then why don’t you show me what you were thinkin’.”
He’s kinder than you were expecting. You had thought it would be all rough edges. But here he is, the sharpness tempered by your weeks of patience, an echo of the hand that held his - that brushed the hair from a fevered forehead.
Or maybe in a way, he’s just as lost as you are. That first attempt at moving forward, after a memory that still lingers.
His own patience soothes you. Your words becoming unstuck, “You sure about this?”
“You’re the one that asked me, darlin’.” He husks. The name shoots straight to your cunt, already throbbing.
“Right,” you breathe. A lick of confidence coming back.
Fingers curl around a thick wrist, and he comes willingly. Letting you tug - the echo of his steps following yours as you bring him to the edge of the bed.
Hands pressing against shoulders, his eyes focused on yours as you push him back, towards the headboard.
Until he’s resting among your pillows, and you’re folding yourself in, next to him. The edge of your nightgown pulling up over your thighs, a gape in the neckline as you curve over him.
One that his eyes follow, lingering.
He’s in your bed. Filling a space that’s felt too big for years. Watching you expectantly, with heavy, half-lidded eyes.
“Anything you don’t like?” You ask, stalling for a moment. Nervous now, that you have him.
“No.”
That makes you smile, gets you to finally reach out. Fingers starting at his waist, trailing up the row of buttons. Tugging the first through the hole, exposing an inch of white undershirt. And then another.
The way his chest expands under your touch, his lips parting with his breath, makes you brave. Makes you want.
Your words come out low, almost a whisper, “Can I kiss you?”
A moment, as he swallows. Throat bobbing, before he nods. A short jerk, like he always does.
“Yes.”
You start there. His chin dipping, but you’re ducking down. Lips pressing against the warm skin of his neck - feeling the muscles beneath flex.
Tasting the sweat and salt of his skin. The soft sound in his throat as you do it again, brushing against the peppered-gray scruff as you move towards his throat.
Hands - broad, scarred ones - find your hips. Biting into skin and fabric, gripping on. A tug pulls you sideways, a choked gasp caught in your throat as he hauls you across his own.
Straddling him now. The fingers ruck up the hem of your nightgown up to the soft curve where your thighs meet your hips.
It’s old, faded. A cheap, pink satin - the straps thin, the edges lined with lace. Worn in case he showed, in case he changed his mind. - wanting to look pretty, for him.
A small luxury, tucked away until tonight.
The pace of your own fingers quicken. An impatient yank to tug the hem from where it’s tucked into his jeans. While his sweep over your skin, grabbing onto the curve of your ass.
Your eyes lift, gaze needy. A shift of your hips as your thighs spread wider. Nudging you against the curve in his jeans, as you tug at the buckle on his belt to pull it free.
The ghost of your mouth against his, testing. His teeth grit, a jerk of his chin until his lips finally meet yours. Slotting together at last, your own parting for the tongue that brushes across your lip.
Your eyes flutter shut as you rock down against him - easing some of the building ache as you grind against the thickening curve of his cock.
Leaning into the messy kiss, a hand leaving your hip to wrap around the back of your neck as he deepens it. Unable to help the whine that flutters in your throat then, the rough sound as it escapes.
He pulls back to hush you, a thumb brushing against your lips. A furrow in his brow as you nod - pulling back from his touch as you pop the button on his jeans, tug at the zipper.
Shifting down, between legs that inch apart. Your mouth inching hurriedly down his chest, over the soft curve of his stomach. The muscles flexing beneath, as your fingers hover, gripping denim-covered thighs.
Joel’s hips lifting as you tug down his jeans, hesitating when his boxers beneath are revealed. His gaze intense, when you look up - his shirt hanging open. That peek of skin again, between the waistband and the pushed-up hem of his undershirt.
A dark trail of hair, one your eyes follow as you shift further back. Settling between his knees as your head dips once more.
Lips pressing against the fabric where it’s pulled taut and tented. A hiss between clenched teeth as your mouth brushes against his clothed cock.
His fingers fist in the sheets, his hips flexing.
“Fuck.” Joel grits out, and your eyes flip up.
Watching as you do it again - before his hands are pushing down that last layer. Freeing himself, the thick curve of his cock coming to rest against his stomach as he shifts.
He’s pretty, and big. The grey in his beard only dusts the coarse, dark curls at the base. Smooth velvet skin that you trace with your tongue, up to the flushed, gleaming tip.
“Sweet fucking mouth.” He breathes, before his fingers are hovering. Unable to help brushing a knuckle across your cheek as you finally take him.
Your eyes closing as you sink down, over the head. Pushing him over your tongue and towards your throat as you suck.
A curse sliding through clenched teeth as you take him deep. A calmness settling over your mind as you find a rhythm, your hand wrapping around. Stroking swollen flesh soaked with your spit.
The thudding between your thighs making you squirm, eyes opening to find him staring - unable to help the little flex of his hips when you try to take him into your throat. Unable to fit all of him, but you try.
“This all you thought about?” He manages, the words sounding strained, “Suckin’ me off?”
You slow, as you think. Pulling away from him, as your head shakes - still embarrassed, as you admit, “I thought about more.”
“Tell me.” There’s an edge to his voice, a command.
“I thought about-“ You tongue peeks out to drag over him again, your fist following. A squeeze of your fingers that has him bucking into your hand again, “A lot of things. Mostly about you taking me.”
The look he gives you is dark, a flash of tongue between his teeth. A throb of his cock in your grip as you stroke him again.
“You think about me fuckin’ you?”
“God, yes.” The word is drawn out - the confession almost freeing.
You had been thinking about that. Finding bliss in the feeling of his mouth against yours. A curiosity sated as he filled your mouth - but still left you wondering.
His fingers find yours, easing himself from your grip. Thumb brushing against your knuckles as he pushes himself up, towards you.
“Turn around.” He rasps, and you’re listening without thought.
An ache and a need as you face the curved wooden footboard, your hands curling around it for balance.
The mattress shifting with his weight as he kicks off his boxers and jeans, leaving them to tangle on the floor. His olive green flannel and undershirt joining them.
Hands smoothing over your thighs, under the curve of your nightgown. Catching on the waistband of your underwear, as he tugs them down.
You feel bare, though the gown still covers your stomach, your chest. Trying not to think about what he sees - the peek of your center, where you gleam for him.
Wet and aching, from sucking his cock. From seeing the desire in his eyes, how he watched you. From weeks of wanting.
A low, rough groan as his hands find the curves of your ass. A tug as he spreads you open, one leaving your skin so his fingers can trace your opening.
“Let me get you ready.”
Grateful for the press of his finger, as it sinks into you. The feeling strange after so much time, until he starts to pump, hand twisting so his thumb slides down. A bump against your clit that has your muscles going taut.
A hushed moan, in the darkness.
A whimper, as your fingers find the straps of your nightgown - easing them from your shoulders. Inches of bare skin coming into view as the material settles around your waist - the hand still on your ass coming to cup your bare skin.
A thumb brushing a pebbled nipple, as he fits another finger into you. Leaving you a mess already, head hanging between your shoulder blades.
“Please,” you grit, rocking back to meet his fingers.
A low huff - close to a laugh. His fingers pressing deep, the sound loud and wet in the quiet room. Your cheek burning at the noise, at how much you need him.
But slowly, he eases from you. Slicking himself up with your arousal, a hand on your hip as his cock slides against your slit.
The hand smoothing over skin, his words coming softly, “Relax for me.”
His words have you breathing again - holding it in without thought. A tightness of your muscles in anticipation.
The tip sinking into you as the tension eases. But it immediately has you clenching down, gripping him as your cunt makes room for him.
His breath short and harsh, a small thrust, and then another. Sinking deeper each time - until his hips are snug against your ass, pressed balls deep.
It leaves you feeling full. A stretch that you remember, though the memory feels so muted.
It’s intense - almost too much - as he starts slowly. Finding a rhythm, picking up speed.
Abandoning the gentle pace, once you start to rock back. Once you finally let go.
He’s not so soft after all. The patience that disguises his own need fading away, then. Too rough in the way he grips you, as if he’s forgotten how to touch.
Fingers biting into the flesh of your hip, the stretched-out sound of fabric ripping as his fist wraps in the bunched-up waist of your nightgown.
Using the leverage to tug you back, meeting each thrust of his hips. Punching the breath from your lungs, as your fingers curl in the sheets.
He’s so deep. Pulling back before seating himself to the hilt, dragging against a spot inside you that has you grateful for his grip.
Keeping your hips level, keeping you firmly in place to take and take.
Each stroke winding you up, the thoughts in your head slipping out of grasp. Leaving you fuzzy and needy, tightening around him.
His name, a chanted whisper.
Joel. Joel. Joel.
Trying to remember to stay quiet, though a whines slide through your teeth when a hand moves. Untangling from the fabric, curving around your hip.
His chest pressing against your back so he can reach between your thighs. Fingers finding where he splits you open, the tips wet as he presses against your clit.
You make a choked sound, as he shushes you again. Amused this time, his touch focused - listening to your breath until he figured out exactly what you like.
“That it?” He drawls, when your body strings tight.
So focused on how close you are that you’re not paying attention anymore - fingers clamped around the footboard.
You nod, the movement short and jerky.
“Tell me what you want.” His voice is low, his body shifting as he moves closer.
“I want to come.” The words come easily - desperately, “I’m so close.”
“Mm.” There’s the press of his lips against your shoulder, “Can you stay quiet, baby?”
You nod again.
“Then come for me.” He rasps, “Let me feel you.”
His fingers pressing just right - even without his words you think you’d be there. Teetering on the edge, chasing something that feels like it’s been simmering for weeks.
“Come on, sweetheart.”
It feels like it rips through you. Catching you by surprise with its intensity as your eyes close - face burying into the mattress.
The high whine muffled as your teeth sink into your forearm - biting down as the flash of pain is erased by the bright pulse of pleasure. Muting the cry that you can’t hold back.
Funny, how anywhere else - that bruise from the bite would condemn you. The marks on your skin a death sentence.
But here, in this room, it’s a reminder that you’re alive. Tightening around him as his hips move. Stroking himself deep with short, steady thrusts.
Fucking you through it, drawing out an orgasm stronger than one you’ve ever been able to give yourself.
Those fingers petting and stroking until you’re gasping - until it’s too much. Grasping at his hand, pressing it flush against you until the air comes back into your lungs.
“So goddamn pretty.” He breathes, a roughness to his words, his breath now.
His chest pressing into your back as he bends over you. Hand moving up, gripping onto your shoulder, fingers damp with your slick.
Keeping him close, hips flexing as he keeps up those short, quick thrusts. Breath warm against your neck as his nose brushes your cheek.
It’s close, intimate. Almost tender, if not for the way he clings to you. Holding you in place, each breath coming shorter, harsher.
His words mumbled, sliding from his lips to melt into your skin.
“Good girl.”
“So good to me. Fuck-”
There’s the pinch of his fingers, pressing into your skin. A muffled grunt as he shifts back, a fist wrapping around his cock as he pulls himself from you.
Leaving you empty, missing the heavy weight, as he kneels behind you. A hand flat against your back to keep you arched against the bed. Your ass high in the air as he fucks his fist, taking you in - greedy in the way his eyes trace your curve, down to the damp space between your thighs.
Finding his own release, seconds later.
He groans through gritted, clenched teeth. Watching how each stroke sends his spend across soft skin, until you’re painted with his release.
It’s a pretty sight, seeing you sticky and shining with him. Marked, for only him to see.
Standing unsteadily after, giving you a chance to finally admire him in the moonlight. The fluid way he moves, even here - as he wets a washcloth in the attached bathroom.
The bed dipping as he sits next to you, hands warm and comforting as he wipes himself away.
Silence settling, in these moments after. As your breaths finally slow, as the sharp pleasure fades to a hazy glow.
You’re curled on your side, facing the heavy, patterned curtains. More tired and sated than you’ve felt in years.
An urge to say something rising - wanting to offer, to clarify. A worry creeping in, making your heart hammers in your ribs.
Thinking that you'll already miss this - even though it only happened once.
“We don’t have to do this again, if you don’t want to.”
Only the rattle of the wind against the windows greets you, the smallest rustle of skin between the sheets.
"I just, - I don't want you to think you owe me, or anything like that. I know that’s how you see things." You roll over to look at him - trying to read his expression, “Not for… not for something like this.”
He blinks at you in the dim light. That fire in his eyes reduced to a slow, lazy smolder. Messy curls brushing against his forehead as he considers you. Eyes dropping from yours down to your mouth.
"Alright." He tells you as he shifts - and you think he's going to leave. A weight dropping in your stomach.
Instead, he gets more comfortable - curling on his side. A hand pressing at your hip, so you’re facing those curtains again - his chest pressing into your back.
Warm against you, when you drift off.
———
He comes back, the next night.
And again - the night after that.
Thank you so much for reading! 💕

Lacquer - for the L prompt!
The brush dipped again into the bucket, the heavy sigh of it's bearer matching the lack of enthusiasm as he ran it across the canvas roof again.
"Alfred," came the calm but stern tone of Gregor Klaudin. "Watch what you are doing there."
"Yes, father," the young man replied as he tried not to let out another sigh as he continued to spread the thick sealant across the thick cloth.
The older man shook his head as he watched his son work, a mixture of pride and scrutiny on his bearded face. Once more he spoke again, his finger pointing to the bottom length of the rounded roof. "Careful of the edge there, you won't want any leakage around that point."
"Yes, Father."
"Did you check the chimney and seal it?"
"Yes, Father."
"You are using the good mix from your grandfather, correct?" Gregor asked he made his way to stand closer behind his son.
"Yes, Father." Alfred rolled his eyes as he continued to work, doing his best to keep his tone level as he had said the passed four times.
It didn't work. It never worked.
"Watch your tone, son," the older man's voice sterner as the calm still maintained but definitely bore edge to it. "You'll be thanking me come the rainy season and you're not soaked as much inside as outside."
"I know," Alfred dipped his brush in again as he set his jaw firmly as he tried to live in the shadow his parent cast.
Gregor would come to stand now beside Alfred as he saw the set of the jaw of the boy. No. Not a boy. A young man, catching up quickly with his older brother. So much so they now had to have two wagons for their family, which he was very thankful for as the two seemed to have grow twice their size in the last year. It would be nice to have some privacy all the time with himself and Mina. But there was a pang deep in his heart of the loss that could not be stopped here.
The boy was becoming a man. And soon the man would need to leave. A vision of a young dark haired child playing swords with is older brother brought a deeper pang of sadness this time at a moment that would only live in his memory.
"Give me the brush," Gregor spoke softly as he held out his hand.
"What?"
"Give me the brush, Alfred."
"What did I do?" The son both confused and worried over his father's request as he turned it about to hand it over.
Gregor shook his head as he took the brush and gently pushed the younger out of the way. "Nothing, go on and find something to do in the town."
Alfred looked even more confused as he tilted his head, but Gregor only gave him a playful kick in the rear. "Go on boy, before I find something else for you to do."
He didn't have to tell Alfred twice as the young Klaudin headed into the village. Gregor only shook his head with a sad smile as he continued to seal the canvas of his son's new home.

The Role of Construction Sealants in Modern Building Techniques
In the realm of modern building techniques, construction sealants have become indispensable. These versatile materials ensure that structures are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and energy-efficient. This blog will explore the various types of construction sealants and their critical roles in contemporary construction practices.
What Are Construction Sealants?
Construction sealants are materials used to seal joints, gaps, and openings in buildings, preventing the ingress of water, air, and contaminants. They are crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of structures, ensuring that they remain weather-resistant and energy-efficient.
Types of Construction Sealants
Silicone Sealants: Silicone sealants are highly flexible and durable, making them ideal for joints that undergo significant movement. They are commonly used in glazing, curtain walls, and exterior joints.
Polyurethane Sealants: These sealants offer excellent adhesion and flexibility. They are suitable for sealing expansion joints, roofing applications, and other exterior surfaces that experience dynamic movements.
Acrylic Sealants: Acrylic sealants are easy to apply and paintable, making them perfect for interior applications where aesthetics are important. They are used in areas with minimal movement, such as trim and moldings.
Applications of Construction Sealants
1. Weatherproofing

Welcome to our guide on fixing RV roof leaks! Imagine you're on a cool road trip, enjoying the breeze and the sun, when suddenly, there's a drip, drip, drip from your RV's roof. Not fun, right? But don't worry! With our easy tips, you can fix those leaks and keep your RV comfy and dry. Let's learn how to do it together!
Understanding RV Roof Leaks: Common Causes and Signs
Let's talk about why RV roof leaks and how you can spot the signs. Imagine your RV like a little house on wheels, and just like a house, it can get leaks in its roof. These leaks can happen for a few reasons. Sometimes it's because of old age – the roof material can wear out over time. Other times, it's because of something hitting the roof, like a tree branch or even hail. Sometimes, it's just a tiny gap where water can sneak in.
Now, how can you tell if your RV has a leak? Look out for water stains on the ceiling or walls inside your RV. Sometimes you might even see drips or puddles forming. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to investigate further and fix the leak before it gets worse.
Essential RV Roof Maintenance Tips for Leak Prevention
Let's talk about how to keep your RV's roof in good shape to prevent leaks. Think of it like giving your RV a little TLC to keep it cozy and dry inside.
First off, give your roof a regular check-up. Look for any cracks, tears, or gaps in the roof material. If you spot any, patch them up right away before they turn into big problems.
Next, keep your roof clean. Sweep off any leaves, branches, or debris that might collect up there. And if you spot any mold or mildew, clean it off with a gentle soap and water mix.
Another important tip is to inspect your roof seals regularly. These are the rubbery strips around things like vents and antennas. Make sure they're not cracked or dried out. If they are, it's time to replace them to keep the water out.
Lastly, consider giving your roof a protective coat of sealant every year or so. This can help extend its life and keep it watertight.

Commercial Roof Inspections – What You Need to Know
Avoid roof leaks and costly structural damage to your commercial structure. Understanding how commercial roof inspections play a crucial role in identifying potential roofing system issues before they escalate into expensive repairs or replacements keeps your roof at its peak performance.
New Image Roofing Atlanta gathered information about commercial roof inspections, including why they are necessary, when they should be performed, who should conduct them, and what an inspector looks for.
Why Commercial Roof Inspections Are Necessary
Commercial roofs are exposed to various weather conditions, including rain, snow, wind, and UV radiation, which can cause wear and tear over time. Poor installation, design flaws, or irregular maintenance can cause roof deterioration. Regular roof inspections help identify potential problems early on, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance to extend the roof’s lifespan and prevent more significant issues from developing.
When Are Commercial Roof Inspections Required?
While there is no regulation mandating how often commercial roof inspections should occur, they are typically recommended annually. However, certain factors may necessitate more frequent inspections, like severe weather events, age, or recent construction activities nearby that could inadvertently damage the roof. Inspections may be required as apart of a property sale, lease agreement, or insurance policy.
For more information about free commercial roof inspections and scheduling one, visit newimageroofingatlanta.com/roofing-services/roof-maintenance/roof-inspections
Watch this video to discover more about insurance and deductibles when roof repairs or replacements are needed.
Who Performs Commercial Roof Inspections?
Commercial roof inspections should be conducted by qualified professionals with expertise in commercial roofing systems. This could include licensed roofers, roofing contractors, or certified building inspectors. It’s essential to select inspectors with experience in commercial roofing, as they are familiar with these structures’ unique challenges and requirements. Additionally, inspectors should adhere to industry standards and best practices outlined by organizations like the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) or the International Facility Management Association (IFMA).
What Do Inspectors Look for During a Commercial Roof Inspection?
During a commercial roof inspection, inspectors evaluate the roofing system to assess its condition and identify potential issues (if any). Here are some areas inspectors typically focus on:
Roofing Materials – Inspectors examine the roof type and material condition, including membranes, shingles, tiles, or metal panels, to ensure they are intact and free from damage or deterioration.
Roof Structure – The roof’s structural integrity, including the decking, support beams, and trusses, can identify any signs of sagging, rot, or corrosion that could compromise the roof’s stability.
Flashing and Sealants – Inspectors check flashing around roof penetrations like vents, chimneys, skylights, and HVAC units, as well as sealants along seams and joints, to ensure they are installed and sealed to prevent water intrusion.
Drainage System – Proper drainage prevents water ponding and potential leaks. Inspectors evaluate gutter conditions, downspouts, scuppers, and drains to ensure they are clear of debris and functioning effectively.
Roof Penetrations – Any openings or penetrations in the roof, like vents, pipes, or equipment mounts, are inspected for leaks or damage signs that could compromise the roofing system’s integrity.
Insulation and Ventilation – Inspectors assess the insulation and ventilation system quality and condition to ensure they meet building code requirements and provide adequate thermal comfort and moisture control.
Safety Features – Safety measures like roof access points, guardrails, and fall protection systems are inspected to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and protect workers during maintenance and repair activities.
Environmental Factors – Inspectors consider factors like tree overhangs, nearby construction activities, or environmental hazards that could impact the roof’s integrity and longevity.
The following is a more complete checklist of areas covered during a commercial roof inspection:
Overall roof membrane or material condition
Completing a core sample to discover roof composition
Seam and joint integrity in the roofing system
Proper drainage system to prevent water pooling
Flashing condition around HVAC units, vents, and other penetrations
Adequate insulation to meet energy efficiency requirements
Wear, tear, or puncture signs in the roofing material
Roof coating condition, if applicable
Roof access points and equipment properly functioning
Adequate roof slope to facilitate water runoff
Roof curbs, parapet walls, and other roof accessories conditions
Rooftop equipment assessment for potential damage or leaks
Rooftop penetration inspection for proper sealing and flashing
Compliance Verification with local building codes and regulations
Checking for any ponding water or excessive moisture signs
Evaluation of any rooftop vegetation or debris that could impact drainage or cause damage
Assessment for proper fire protection measures, if applicable
Conducting thorough inspections and addressing any issues allows commercial property owners to prolong the roof’s lifespan, maintain a safe and secure building environment, and avoid costly repairs or replacements in the future.

what is roof maintenance service
Regular maintenance and upkeeping of any property is an unavoidable truth. But unfortunately, the bank usually handles the properties, which they are compelled to foreclose or which the owner willing abandons. These REO properties can make a severe financial crisis if not properly maintained.
Perhaps the most expensive parts of property maintenance are the management of the roof issues. Various types of roofs keep going for different times. However, all can cost thousands of dollars to replace when they started getting degraded. That is the reason you need an REO management or a property preservation company that can give exceptional roof maintenance and repairs when needed, and keep the property well maintained and at high value in the market.
Why approach a property preservation company for roof maintenance?
Most of the banks or the owners who hold a property do not know much about the property preservation business. They will not keep roofers, on staff or even on retainer accessible on call. In any case, owning REO properties comes with a lot of work and stress. Instead of spending all your time researching contractors and paying tons of money, it is often best to have an experienced property preservation company in your corner.
Regardless of whether replacing a couple of shingles, removing a whole roof or upgrading the rooftop, be it asphalt, slate, or metal, the best property preservation company will analyze the issue appropriately, mention to you what it will cost to repair and take care of business right the first run through around. The whole property preservation process is done through proper communication, and you get full updates regularly of the entire scenario and your budget.
Damages and their maintenance:
Vermin and pest control: Termites, squirrels, raccoons, and fowls would all prefer to relocate to your roof. Block all the little openings and eliminate new occupants as fast as could reasonably be expected.
Rain, moisture, and humidity: Heavy rain and predictable moistness are closest companions of mold and can prompt underlying damages and lead to different types of allergies or even diseases. When water damages occur, remedy the situation immediately and guarantee that no materials have lasting damage.
Storm damage: Heavy storm and rain can loosen the grip of shingles, create holes, and cause trees to fall. Do the basic inspection and repair if necessary after every heavy storm.
Snow damage: A hefty snowfall can crush the actual structure of the roof and to ultimate damage. Always have a company who offers your snow removal services on the go.
Sun damage: Excessive sun rays can abbreviate the life of many material items like sealants. Conduct regular inspection to ensure roof sealings are in proper condition, and they don’t need any repairs.
RPR Services is a property preservation work order processing company, who help their client by analysing the photos submitted by the property preservation inspector and provide you with the most appropriate bid.

Can You Sleep in the House After Polyurethane? Discover the Facts
Yes, you can sleep in a house after polyurethane has been applied. Polyurethane dries within a few hours, making it safe for occupancy.
Understanding Polyurethane
After applying polyurethane, it is generally safe to sleep in the house as long as the area is well-ventilated. Allow fresh air to enter for at least 24-48 hours to minimize exposure to potentially harmful fumes. This step ensures health and safety while promoting a restful night's sleep.
What Is Polyurethane?
Polyurethane is a synthetic material widely used in the manufacturing industry due to its versatility and durability. It is a type of polymer formed by the reaction of isocyanate with a polyol. The resulting material can be found in various forms, including foams, adhesives, coatings, and sealants.
Types Of Polyurethane
There are different types of polyurethane that serve specific purposes and applications. Understanding these types can help you make informed decisions when it comes to using polyurethane-based products.
Rigid Foam
Rigid foam polyurethane is commonly used for insulation purposes, providing excellent thermal resistance. It is often found in the construction of walls, roofs, and floors to enhance energy efficiency in buildings.
Flexible Foam
Flexible foam polyurethane is known for its soft and cushiony texture, making it ideal for applications such as mattresses, upholstery, and cushions. Its ability to conform to shapes and provide comfort makes it a popular choice in the furniture industry.
Coatings
Polyurethane coatings are used to protect surfaces from abrasion, chemicals, and corrosion. They are commonly found in the automotive industry as clear coats for paint protection, as well as in flooring applications to provide a durable and glossy finish.
Adhesives
Polyurethane adhesives are known for their strong bonding capabilities, making them suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, metal, glass, and plastics. They are commonly used in construction, woodworking, and automotive industries.
Sealants
Polyurethane sealants are used to fill gaps, cracks, and joints in various materials, providing a watertight and airtight seal. They are commonly found in construction and automotive applications, ensuring protection against moisture and drafts.
Understanding the different types of polyurethane can help you determine its properties and applications. Whether you are considering using polyurethane foam for insulation or polyurethane adhesive for your DIY project, having a basic understanding of this versatile material can help you make informed decisions.
Drying Time Of Polyurethane
Polyurethane dries within 24 hours, but it's recommended to avoid sleeping in a freshly finished home. The strong fumes can pose health risks, so it's best to wait until the odor dissipates before settling in for a good night's sleep.
How Long Does Polyurethane Take To Dry?
Polyurethane is a popular choice for protecting and enhancing the appearance of wooden flooring or furniture. When it comes to drying time, it's important to consider several factors to ensure your safety and the quality of the finished surface.
The drying time of polyurethane varies based on different factors. On average, it can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours for polyurethane to dry completely. However, this time frame can vary depending on the specific type of polyurethane used, the thickness of the applied layer, and the environmental conditions.
To have a better idea of the drying time, refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the polyurethane. These instructions will often include specific recommendations for the drying time, as well as the number of coats needed for optimal results.
Factors Affecting Drying Time
The drying time of polyurethane can be influenced by several factors. Understanding these factors will help you plan your project accordingly and ensure a successful outcome:
- Temperature and Humidity: Higher temperatures and lower humidity levels generally promote faster drying times. On the other hand, lower temperatures and higher humidity can prolong the drying process. It's important to note that excessive humidity can lead to longer drying times and potential issues such as bubbles or a cloudy appearance. It's recommended to work in a well-ventilated area or use air movers to help speed up the drying process.
- Type of Polyurethane: Different types of polyurethane, such as oil-based and water-based, have different drying times. Oil-based polyurethane tends to have a longer drying time compared to water-based polyurethane. Read the product label or consult with the manufacturer to determine the drying time specific to the type you're using.
- Thickness of Application: The thickness of the applied polyurethane layer affects the drying time. Thicker layers generally take longer to dry compared to thin coats. It's recommended to apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry fully before applying the next, for optimal results.
- Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial for the drying process. It helps in dissipating the fumes and allows fresh air to circulate, expediting the drying time. Ensure windows and doors are open, and consider using fans or air movers to facilitate air circulation.
Sleeping In A House After Polyurethane Application
Applying polyurethane to floors or furniture can greatly enhance their appearance and durability. However, you may wonder if it is safe to sleep in a house after polyurethane application. While polyurethane generally dries quickly, it is important to consider certain safety precautions and ventilation measures to ensure a healthy sleeping environment.
Safety Precautions
Polyurethane emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the drying process, which can cause respiratory irritation and other health concerns. To mitigate these risks, follow these safety precautions before sleeping in a freshly polyurethaned house:
- Adequate Drying Time: Ensure that the polyurethane has been fully cured before sleeping in the house. This typically takes between 24 to 48 hours, depending on the type of polyurethane and environmental conditions.
- Protective Equipment: Wear a respirator or mask while staying in the house to reduce inhalation of VOCs.
- Isolation: If possible, consider staying at an alternative location for a day or two after the application to minimize exposure to airborne chemicals.
Ventilation And Air Quality
Proper ventilation is crucial for expelling harmful fumes and improving indoor air quality after polyurethane application. Consider the following measures to ensure adequate ventilation and air quality:
- Open Windows and Doors: Increase air circulation by opening windows and doors to facilitate the release of VOCs.
- Use Fans: Place fans strategically to direct fumes toward open windows and encourage fresh air intake.
- Limit Occupancy: Avoid sleeping in rooms where polyurethane has recently been applied to reduce exposure to residual gases.
Health Concerns And Risks
Sleeping in a house after polyurethane application may pose health concerns and risks. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and allow enough time for the fumes to dissipate before sleeping in the area.
Potential Health Risks
Sleeping in a house that has just been treated with polyurethane can pose potential health risks. The strong fumes emitted by polyurethane products can cause discomfort, irritation, and even health problems in some individuals.
Exposure to these fumes can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing. Prolonged exposure may result in more severe conditions like respiratory issues and allergies. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions should be particularly cautious.
Preventive Measures
While the strong odor and potential health risks associated with sleeping in a freshly polyurethane-treated house cannot be entirely eliminated, there are preventive measures that can be taken to minimize the impact and promote a safer environment.
- Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows and use fans to increase airflow, helping to reduce the concentration of fumes indoors. Cross-ventilation is key to allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the space.
- Stay out of the treated area: Avoid sleeping in rooms that have recently been treated with polyurethane. Consider finding alternative sleeping arrangements until the odor dissipates.
- Allow for sufficient drying time: Give the polyurethane ample time to dry and cure before occupying the space. It is important to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions regarding drying time to prevent exposure to uncured chemicals.
- Use air purifiers: Consider using air purifiers with activated carbon filters to help neutralize and remove the strong fumes from the air.
- Seal off treated areas: If possible, seal off the room or area where polyurethane has been used to prevent the fumes from spreading to other parts of the house.
Post-polyurethane Application Care
After you've had polyurethane applied to your house floors, it's important to follow proper post-application care to ensure optimal results and a longer-lasting finish. This involves paying attention to cleaning and maintenance, as well as understanding the duration before normal activity can resume.
Cleaning And Maintenance
Keeping your floors clean and well-maintained is crucial to preserve the beauty and durability of the polyurethane finish. Here are some tips for cleaning and maintenance:
- Regularly sweep or vacuum your floors to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can scratch the finish.
- Use a damp mop with a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for polyurethane finishes. Avoid using excessive water, as it can seep into the wood and cause damage.
- Immediately clean up any spills or stains to prevent them from penetrating the finish. Blot the area gently with a clean cloth, and if necessary, use a recommended wood floor cleaner.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, wax-based products, or furniture polishes, as they can leave a residue or dull the finish.
- Place protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching when moving or rearranging items.
Duration Before Normal Activity Resumes
Although the drying time for polyurethane can vary depending on factors such as humidity and ventilation, it typically takes about 24-48 hours for the finish to cure completely. During this time, it's important to avoid any activities or actions that may disrupt or damage the finish. Here's a rough guide of the duration before normal activity can resume:
Activity
Recommended Duration
Walking on the floors with socks or shoe covers
24 hours
Walking on the floors barefoot
48 hours
Placing furniture back onto the floors
48 hours
Allowing pets on the floors
48 hours
Routine cleaning and maintenance
48 hours
It's important to note that these recommendations are general guidelines and may vary depending on the specific polyurethane product used and the manufacturer's instructions. Always consult with your flooring professional for proper guidance.

First off, let's talk about why roof leaks happen. Over time, the roof of your RV or mobile home can take a beating from the weather. Rain, sun, wind - they all chip away at your roof's defenses. Plus, if your roof isn't properly sealed, water can find its way in through tiny cracks and gaps.
So, how do you know if you've got a leak? Well, keep an eye out for water stains on your ceiling or walls, or maybe even some drips when it rains. Sometimes, you might notice a musty smell, too - that's a sure sign of water creeping in where it shouldn't be.
Essential Mobile Home Roof Repair Materials
Alright, let's get down to business. Fixing up your mobile home roof repair materials isn't too tricky when you've got the right gear. Here's what you'll need to patch things up:
Patch Material: Grab some durable patch material like EPDM rubber or roofing cement. These goodies will help seal up any holes or cracks in your roof.
Sealant: Don't forget the sealant! A good quality sealant will keep water out and make sure your repairs last a long time. Look for one specifically made for mobile home roofs for best results.
Roofing Tape: This stuff is a lifesaver. It's super sticky and perfect for sealing seams or edges where leaks might sneak in.
Roof Coating: Consider giving your roof a protective coat to keep it safe from the elements. A reflective roof coating can also help keep your mobile home cooler in the summer.
Safety Gear: Last but not least, don't skimp on safety. Grab some sturdy gloves, goggles, and maybe even a harness if you're working on a higher roof.
With these materials in hand, you'll be ready to tackle any roof repair job that comes your way. So, roll up your sleeves and get to it!

Maintaining a Leak-Free Roof: RV and Mobile Home Roof Care
Hey there, fellow mobile home adventurer! Want to ensure your travels are smooth sailing? It all starts with a leak-free roof. Here's how to keep your RV or mobile home's roof in tip-top shape:
Regular Inspections: Make roof checks part of your routine maintenance. Take a stroll up top every few months to look for signs of wear and tear. Check for cracks, tears, or areas where the sealant might be peeling away.
Cleanliness is Key: Keep your roof clean and free of debris. Sweep away leaves, branches, and any other gunk that might accumulate up there. A clean roof not only looks better but also helps prevent water from pooling and causing damage.
Sealant Check-Up: Keep an eye on your sealant and touch up any trouble spots as needed. Over time, sealant can wear away or crack, leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks. Be proactive and patch up any areas where the sealant is starting to show signs of wear.
Mind the Seams: Pay extra attention to seams and edges where leaks are most likely to occur. Use roofing tape or extra sealant to reinforce these areas and prevent water from sneaking in.
Trim Those Trees: If you park your RV or mobile home under trees, keep the branches trimmed back. Falling branches can cause damage to your roof, leading to potential leaks. Plus, keeping trees away from your roof helps prevent leaves and debris from building up.
Stay on Top of Repairs: Don't procrastinate when it comes to roof repairs. Address any issues promptly to prevent them from getting worse. A small crack today could turn into a major leak tomorrow if left unchecked.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you'll keep your RV or mobile home roof in top condition and enjoy leak-free travels for years to come.

Waterproofing: A Guide to Various Materials and Their Uses
In the world of construction, preventing water from entering a building is essential for its overall health. This is where waterproofing comes into play. Whether it’s a rooftop or a basement, there are a variety of materials used to protect structures from the onslaught of water. In this article, let's explore each type of waterproofing material and how each one serves a specific purpose in protecting your home and building from water damage.
Different Types of Waterproofing Materials
Bituminous Coatings : Bituminous coating is a type of waterproofing material that is derived from petroleum. It is used to create a waterproof coating on surfaces that is resistant to water damage. This type of coating is often used in areas where there is a lot of moisture, like basements or foundations.
Bentonite Waterproofing : Bentonite waterproofing is a process that uses the natural swelling of bentonite clay to create a thick, waterproof barrier. When bentonite is properly hydrated, it creates a dense, waterproof barrier. This type of waterproofing is often used in underground applications, such as retaining walls and foundations.
Acrylic Waterproofing : Acrylic waterproofing is a type of waterproofing material that is highly resistant to UV rays and is highly durable. It is commonly used on exterior walls and decks to protect them from rain and other weather conditions. Because of its attractive appearance, acrylic waterproofing is often used on visible surfaces.
Polyurethane Waterproofing : Waterproofing with polyurethane is a great way to protect your roof, balcony, or any other surface from water damage. Polyurethane is often used as a liquid membrane, creating a smooth and flexible coating. The flexibility of polyurethane means that it can be moved around without losing its waterproofing properties.
Liquid Rubber Waterproofing : Liquid rubber waterproofing is a more up-to-date type of waterproofing that provides a flexible and durable protective layer. When liquid rubber is applied to a surface, it forms a smooth membrane. This type of waterproofing is often used in roofing and to seal cracks.
Cementitious Waterproofing : Cementitious waterproofing is a type of waterproofing that uses a mixture of cement and additives. This type of waterproofing is often used in bathrooms, swimming pools, and other areas that are prone to water leakage.
EPDM Membranes : Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) membranes are one of the most common types of EPDM membranes used in roofing. EPDM membranes are synthetic rubber sheets that are highly resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for long-lasting waterproofing in a variety of weather conditions.
Fiberglass Membranes : Fiberglass membranes, also known as polymers, are lightweight and impervious to chemicals and UV radiation. They are widely used in roofing and sub-surface waterproofing applications.
Thermoplastic Membranes : Thermoplastic membranes, such as PVC and TPO, are heat welded to form a smooth barrier. They are commonly used for flat roofs and are highly resistant to chemicals and UV rays.
Silicone Waterproofing : Silicone-based waterproofing sealants are highly flexible and long-lasting. They are used to seal joints and gaps that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
The best waterproofing material for your property depends on a number of factors, such as what you plan to use it for, where you plan to install it, and the particular challenges your building may face. Knowing the differences between each type of waterproofing material can help builders make the best decisions to protect their property from water damage.
