Up on the rooftop…

No, not reindeer, not Santa Claus, but roofers! We had extensive hail damage on our roof and were fortunate enough to have it replaced. The roofers arrived at 7:00am and promptly began the demolition. It sounded like a herd of elephants were up there. Poor Fergus didn’t know what to think. Craig reminded me of the skylight in our bathroom… thankfully.

Yikes! Glad it’s them up there and not me, I would probably fall off the roof.

These guys worked SOOOOOOOOO hard. They only stopped long enough to eat, which wasn’t very long at all. I can’t imagine how exhausted they must have been at the end of the day.

They started and finished it ALL in one day. Luckily the weather cooperated and the rain stayed away. We are really pleased with the finished product. We upgraded to architectural shingles and it definitely makes a huge difference. We chose a very light colored shingle, “Driftwood”, and we hope it helps to cut down on the hot summer heat.

Tada! It’s a gloomy day here today, overcast and blah. Sorry for the dull photo…

Now we want to replace the shutters with black, raised panels… essentially I would love to paint the exterior taupe and then redo all the trim work in white. If only money grew on trees…
