Our New Roof
August - September, 2010

to 2010
This year, we finally decided to get a new roof
installed.
A local contractor and son of a
good friend came to the house and started by removing the old corrugated
roof.
The pictures below are some of
the shots taken, both before, during, and after construction.
The project involved removing the
old roof and underlying shingles, installing new plywood sheeting, removing an unused chimney, leveling the roof over
the home-built
addition,
adding some small "crickets" over each entrance (for both snow and rain diversion), installing the new
roof,
and a doing a few other repairs on the house.
We also had the contractor, John
Huddleston, put
preservative oil on the house.
