a new roof over our heads

by | Sep 26, 2008 | House

On Monday we finally got that new roof that the home inspector told us we needed three years ago when we bought our home. We didn’t have any leaks or major problems, but we were living with an original roof that was 23 years old and needed to be replaced.

The quote for the roof was reasonable, so we decided to have them replace the garage roof as well. Lots of banging and a few grand later, we have a lovely “weathered wood” roof.

bang! bang! bang!

Pup was reasonably well-behaved but didn’t like all the roofing debris that was flying past the windows. We stayed downstairs during the whole ordeal because you could barely hear yourself think with all the noise in the office… not to mention people walking by the windows!
