NEW ROOF!!

With great relief, I sat on the ground and watched 9 guys pull shingles off of the roof of the house!  Tuesday was unbearably hot.  The day started with hot fog rolling over the roof as the crew took off shingles.  But early afternoon, the heat index was getting dangerously high, and the crew decided to call it off. 

By 3:30, they had tar papered the back and front of the house, now stripped of shingles.  But that was it for Tuesday.

Wednesday, the full crew of 14 arrived at 6:15 AM and got to work.  The temperature was slightly better, but still very hot!  We set up a sprinkler in the yard to cool the crew.

Over the course of the day, the roof was transformed to a shiny new surface.  The last of the crew cleared out by about 6 PM.  That was a BIG job at about 46 square!

Lots of pictures tell the story very well!

Enjoy...
