A roof over our heads

It's finally done! The roof is done, paid for, finished, complete! What a long, drawn out project that was. One crew showed up on a Friday and, from what it looked like on the ground, almost finished the project. They said they'd be back the next day, or on Monday if they weren't able to get the materials needed over the weekend. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday..... they still haven't come back.

The view from my dining room window of the mess

We get in touch with their boss and he heads over to check their progress, he discovered why they ran out of materials that first day, they didn't bring any starter strips so they were using up full shingles. Then he checked their work on the skylights. He grabbed onto one to give it a tug and see how secure it was and it CAME RIGHT OFF in his hands! Thank goodness we didn't have any rain, that would have been a HUGE mess. So the boss man and his nephew spent an entire Friday on our roof, finishing the project. Then he fired the crew that was here the week before.

Nice view of a dumpster from my bedroom window

Just when you think it's over.... it took over a week and lots of nagging phone calls to get the dumpster out of our yard. Now that that's gone it's finally over. And it's been raining for the last two weeks without any leaks!
