Roof Reveal

Well, here it is...the new roof!

With a bit of pressure washing to the siding, and maybe new shutters (a suggestion from my Mom) we will have a pretty cute little house.

Here are some of the things the roofers left for us...

This is what John has found in the yard and flower beds around the house so far.


This is a nice sized pothole left by the dumpster. Oops! Watch where you step!

Ok, so yesterday's picture was not really an accurate image of our old shingles. Here is the dumpster today, and they still have the back of the house to tear off.

Here is what's left of our moss covered old roof.

Let me say I am so thankful to be getting a new roof, but it sure is making a mess of everything. I don't think it helped that it was rainy/drizzly all day today. Take a look...





Here are some more pictures of the process.
(Note to self...call to get an estimate on pressure washing the siding.)

After new shingles. Ahh...so neat and pretty.

I will post a whole house after shot in a couple of days!

Look what's happening at my house!

Yes, that is a huge dumpster filled with approximately 3 layers of old, mossy shingles from my roof. Back sometime last year we had several severe storms with lots of hail and wind. We finally had a roofer come out and inspect our roof a couple of months ago, and he found hail damage. I have never been so happy to hear those words! Anyway, the insurance company sent us a nice check to pay for a new roof. Hooray! The roofers got started this morning. My yard is a mess, and John tells me the attic is a mess as well. I do not look forward to cleaning the attic mess, but I am looking forward to seeing my lovely new roof in a few days.
