Reg and Oscar inspect our new roof together!
This is the old roof and that stupid little dormer is where the leaking came from. Apparently it was made with plywood and had rotted through so I told them to get rid of them. Man, the noise level went from bad to nightmare when they worked on those!
Same window without the dormer and the new roof. Yes, it is a little darker but maybe that will help us with heat. They finished yesterday and are coming today to pick up the trailer and some supplies and go through a final inspection. Another day of sitting at home waiting but at least it is much, much quieter so my brain can rest.
I haven't left the house except to silently scream at my roof in almost a week. I am living out of my freezer and caved in and ordered pizza last night. Guess I will be having leftovers for dinner because I am exhausted. This process has knocked me right off my feet. I can't remember being this tired ever.
Today's the first real day of summer on the east coast and after I give the huge cheque to the contractor I will be lucky if I get out of bed again until tomorrow. At least it's done. Finally! Knock on wood and all that crap.

Looks great! Enjoy the summery day today and just rest in the peace and quiet.
Thanks Debra! I lay down and the inspector came, of course! It's all official done now and I am so glad. I'm recovering today and hopefully moving on tomorrow.
It's always a relief when a huge job like the roof is complete!!!
Still enjoying your blogs!
Hopefully you have warm summer days now (I have rain!) and you'll get to appreciate that roof this winter!
What a great picture of your husband and friend. How wonderful to have the big job completed and now you can rest in quiet.
Rest up Suzie, you deserve it after putting up with all the racket. Rest assured your new roof will be a great protector from the elements and a wonderful investment for your home. Wishes that there be no more financial drama....oy yoi yoi!!
It looks great compared to how it looked before the repairs. Indeed, it is kind of dark, but it has that modernized look to it that is quite elegant. All the noise paid off. BTW, the owl looks awesome in the picture! :)
