What a morning!! Today was the first day of the roof, roof, roofing. It was hot and humid to begin at 7am (about 70 degrees and 68% humidity). By 11am, the weather really took it toll on the men up on the roof. The temp was 90 degrees and the humidity was 90%!!! They worked only 4.5 hours today and looked completely overheated by the time they rolled off the roof. A total of 1/4 of the roof now has new shingles...that is of the HOUSE... Yes, our 2 day job (house and garage) is turning into a much longer ordeal...temps and humidity are making it pretty intense. Tomorrow they say more of the same, with a break on Thursday - but then some rain. As you can see, the back of the house still has all of the old shingles and the front has a blue tarp on the other half of the front! Wonderful, this is an interesting experience.
It is finished! Whew, finally after the week's worth of banging and mess the roof is on the house and garage. It looks nice!!! Can a roof 'look nice'??!! I am just not sure. I think roof issue are mainly about FUNCTION. We had a huge storm and the house DID NOT LEAK...that is my idea of a good roof. Anyhow, here are some photos to give you an
idea of the process and the finished product. I hope this means only one or two more little events/projects for the summer. Who knows!!! Not next week...that is time to relax with all of you!!!
