Day 38: Part 2, a new roof

At 7am Cheryl and I wake up and realize that we need to lay the plastic down in the attic. We didn't do it last night because it was too dark and we didn't find a functioning flashlight until 4am. We got it laid down pretty quickly and a good thing because the roofers arrived at 7:30 and had most of the roof off by 8:30.

Before:
house with old roof

During:
Roofers scaling the house

After:
House with new roof

Oops:
broken window

I came home from bringing our daughter to an activity and at 12:30 the roof was done. I did some magnet work to make sure that the nails from the roofing were all picked up, and not surprisingly I found some, so the roofer with the big magnet bar ran over the ground again. We found a bunch.

The roofers installed GAF Timberline shingles, Pewter Gray (Natural Shadow), an architectural shingle, and while I will be most happy if I never have to get up at 4am to deal with leaks, the new roof looks great. The only problem was that Cheryl noticed that we have a broken window now. I suspect that it got hit by a ladder or something, but this should be easy to fix.
