The Time We Got A New Roof

We got a new roof today.  We're still in shock, actually.  We knew this day was coming and had been dreading the toll it would take on our bank account, but were jumping for joy when we found out it would be covered by homeowners insurance.

After we arrived home from Colorado at the end of December, we had a handful of partially torn off shingles on the deck.  Bryce dutifully collected more remnants from the yard and we called to have an estimate.  Evidently there was significant wind damage that occurred while we were away over Christmas break that allowed for full replacement!  We couldn't have been more surprised.

So, on the first mildly warm day in January, six roofers showed up at 9 AM and were finished before 4.  These guys were so fast, I didn't even have time to take a before picture.  It was a quick job, for sure.  My favorite part of the day was overhearing one of the roofers say, "I love roofing."  And another guy say, "Again!"  And the guy repeating himself, but with more gusto, "I LOVE ROOFING!"  I can only imagine this guy was learning English from his co-workers.
