And now our house has a red one!

Done in one day...the advantage of hiring a contractor with a crew

It rained yesterday. We had removed the tarp from the eaves at the beginning of this month in order to install/replace fascia boards. It flapped in the wind and developed leaks. Better than nothing, but it was time to have a real roof...I was running out of buckets to catch the drips. The sheathing under the tarp had survived the winter without any noticeable harm. Whew.

The addition lacked fascia boards and the old house had suffered from rotting boards. We had to get the fascia up before the roofers came because the drip edge goes over the fascia but under the shingles.

That little silver strip is the drip edge. Things I never noticed before!

The next stage will be installing windows and doors. Then siding. Then we can start on the interior. We hope to have Irene in her new apartment by Christmas. Then we can start to work on getting our living space in order.
