Well, I've been waiting for my roof to be replaced -- keeping my fingers crossed that it would be done before an heavy rains set in. All About Roofing was the company I went with, and they told me it would be the end of February, first of March. Three days ago I got a call and said it would be Feb 27th. When I got home from work that day, there were stacks of shingles on my roof. It surprised me, as I wasn't expecting it to be so many days prior to my installation date. I rearranged my work schedule so that I'd be home on the 27th, thinking I would need to be with Sadie because she might bark herself into a frenzy. While I was working on Weds, I got a call, said my roof was installed and the job done -- less than a 10 hour job!
Austin, my rep, dropped by after I got home from work (to collect my check!) and to see if everything was done. It looks great! As he said, they stripped the old, and installed new. They also put up new roof vent things, and cleaned up so well! He told me they had a crew of 12 in 5 trucks here at my place -- you couldn't tell that any one had been working all day on my home.
I'm tickled pink that I could get this important repair done -- before our monsoons arrive.
When I bought the house in 2009, they told me the roof appeared to be 8 years old.
I've been here 10+ years, and it was definitely time to get the job done.
I could have used my son to be here for it all,
he's so handy when it comes to repairs
but *sigh* I'm doing a few more things, and life continues to move on.
I planted some spring flowers in my planters.
They won't last into the summer, but they will cheer me through spring!
and with that, there is a bit of moving forward.
