Getting a New Roof - Pound, pound, pound go the hammers.

Pound, pound, pound! This was the music from above that we listened to most of the month of October as it was finally our turn to get our new roof. We had been waiting since the big storm back in May. And of course, about the time the roofers got to our house to get started, so did the rains start. So, our roof was decked out in a multitude of colorful tarps while the roofers had to wait out the rains. Then another delay when they discovered flashing was needed for the new skylights that were replacing the old ones...so another two week wait for that to be ordered and delivered. As the month ended, we were still waiting for the last part of the roof to be finished. However, the wait has been worth it as the new shingles look very nice and match the siding perfectly. Now to get the gutters replaced, the fence put back up, and the drive fixed and we will be back to where we were the beginning of last May...minus dozens of trees that is.
