Roof Is Done!

As evidenced by the return of the clock, the roof is done! Here’s the final effect. Please note lack of spirals, turrets or balconies. After it was done I started brooding about the monthly payment and thinking maybe we could have put the purchase off for a year. I had serious plans for that monthlyContinueContinue reading “Roof Is Done!”

We Thought About It

The new shingles are, interestingly enough, blackContinueContinue reading “Roofing as I Blog”

Well, we’re on to the promised blogging about the roof. With lots of photos. Here’s Hubby waving to the camera (note roof behind him): Here’s Candy Cat at the back door watching Hubby and Snakelady and Bethesda all outside. She may go outside when she’s too arthritic to jump over the fence. Here’s the algaeContinueContinue reading “Roof!”
