Covering our assets

Rain is falling steadily this morning on our new roof. I wish I could say that we had it all buttoned up before we had any rain at all, considering the long and rainless summer we had, but there were a few days of stress and tarp management as Morgan got the last bits done last week.

Rain on the metal roof (sound way up to hear it!).

For whatever reasons, the metal order was hard to get placed and then took many weeks to deliver. Subsequent orders for replacement parts followed the same slow path, and other people’s jobs (for Morgan) got squeezed in while we were waiting.

New sheathing, gable repairs, bunch of stuff you will never see that will keep this roof strong for another 50 years.

There is a bit more yet to do- mainly crimping, which requires the supplier to respond about their fancy tool- but we are waterproof and looking sharp. Feeling very relieved, as that roof had needed replacement the entire time we have lived here, and should now be all set for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Morgan!!!
