Actually, it's a roof slide show/video (assuming I uploaded it properly). The presentation is brief, but the images provide a decent before, during and after look at the making of a new roof.
As mentioned in our first post, the roof was past its expiration date 12 years ago. It's been hanging on by a thread ever since but has somehow managed to outsmart our hopes for an insurance claim by surviving two hurricanes and a history-making tropical storm.
So, suffice to say, the roof was long overdue, especially since there were wood shingles under the composite shingles you see in the photos. The contractors had to tear up both sets of shingles, re-deck the roof and put down the new shingles. In the process, they added ridge vents for better attic air flow and lopped off the chimney, since the fireplace will soon be a pile of bricks that will be recycled for another phase of the remodeling project.
Stay tuned for the start of Phase II after we digest Thanksgiving dinner.
