Well, the roofers have now started on the kitchen roof as well. The old roof was as bad as we had feared, but we'll do the details another time. For now, heres a pic of the roofers putting the new roof on,
and here's a pic of what happened when the roofers found out the hardway how weak the old roof was.....
One of the roofers put his foot on the wrong bit, and fell most of the way through, catching himself by his elbows! He wasn't hurt, just surprised and embarrassed! This photo was taken after the new roof and insulation had been put on, but shows what happened to the inside of the roof.
Geoff, I'm embarased to say this is my first trip to your blog. I missed the link on chrissy's some how, even though Erin insisted it was there. Sure enough it was.
ReplyDeleteLove the picks. It gives me the best concept I've had of what your house and lot are like. Keep them coming. I hope they finished the painting.

No worries Matt. As soon as I get some spare time {grin} I'll be putting up pics of doing the master bedroom & bed back in August.
ReplyDeletep.s. don't forget the pics link to higher-res copies if you click on them.
Hi Geoff,
ReplyDeleteLooks like the house is really coming along well now. It's great to see the pictures. Would love to see some of the work you've done inside too. The last ones i saw of your living room were when Chrissy was plastering!! Hope you're all well. Love to all the family.

Uh-oh! That roof is looking dangerously on the verge of crumbling down! Glad to hear the guy whose foot went through was unhurt. Looks like you got your roof redone just in time. Matter of interest – what roofing material did you choose to go with? I myself have been reaping the benefits of a new asphalt roof. It’s the most affordable material on the market right now, and it’s holding up pretty well.
