Well, we’ve called one of the roofers and made the commitment. He expects to start on our roof on November 7th, weather permitting. I hope that the weather will hold just three weeks more, not that I want to encourage the drought. It’s a tough call. I want my trees and perennials to get the water they need, but I want it to be dry for the roofing. Do you think that we could do the Camelot thing, and have it only rain at night??<\/p>\n
\nDear Husband spent a good part of his day on Saturday tearing apart the raccoon “door” and repairing the plywood roof base. We are not expecting to find any problems with the plywood as they strip off the shingles.
\nWe’ve chosen a 50 year warrantied shingle that gives us better protection in high winds. I’ve heard that you want at least 250 pounds per square in shingle weight and these are 300 pounds per square. The additional cost over a 30 year warranty was minor, in the scheme of things.
\nI haven’t been working in my gardens, because they are in full bloom, but I’ll have to move things out of their way, and trim back some of the plants before they get started. I expect to use the first six days of November to get things squared away.
\nThe roofer is going to get the permit from the city for the work, and they are going to send me an updated certificate of insurance before the job starts.
\nSo….we’re set to go. I’m sure there will be more to the saga, once the roofers arrive. Stay tuned! *G*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
