The Roof, The Roof, The Roof Has Gone Missing
This morning, shortly after I left for work, there was a large dumpster delivered to our driveway, and a short time later a crew arrived to start tearing off the old cedar shake roof and put on a new solid roof deck.
Tomorrow the shingles are roof-top delivered, and the whole thing should be done on Friday.
The old roof was going on 20 years old and hadn't been maintained (given the pitch of the roof, I can't say I'd have been keen to climb up there on a regular basis). Some shakes were missing, felt was visible, and it wasn't going to make it much longer without help. Oh, and the cost of composition roofing is trending up along with crude oil (it's a petroleum product, after all), so waiting wasn't going to make it cheaper.
