Roofing!

Yesterday Courtney and Elijah, our roofers, were actually more than coffee drinking friends. They worked on our roof!! Last night we had major thunderstorms and today more, and we have more leaks than BEFORE they worked, but everyone assures me it will all be good eventually. It would have been a short process but first some fascia board had to be made to match the old. AND, as Courtney was installing it he texted me that - just in case I didn't know it - my house wasn't really square. Smart aleck! However, once that was done, the actual panels on the roof went fine. There's tie-in (to the main house roof) and finishing of ends left to do - after we stop having rain. But this nice green metal blends well with our slate, and seems to blend fine with the paint colors I've chosen. Don't worry; the bright turquoise stuff is just underlayment for the slate. After tie-in, that will no longer be seen.

Elijah, left, and the boss, Courtney, strip away slate.

Courtney begins while Elijah hands it up.
