House to Home and Beyond...

Hi! I am going to show you some older pics of some, well a lot of, roof work that was done. I don't have the finished picture for you yet; as it is covered in snow right now, but it is just black rubber on there. This past Summer, Cliff worked very hard for a week to get this all torn up and finished. He did. He only had a few finishing things to do after that. The entire week was sunny and perfect! I say that is pretty good for having never redone a roof before in this manner. This work BTW had been done on the lower roof. The upper roof has yet to be done. That section is in OK shape so it will be refinished in a year or two.

First picture is the contraption Cliff built to get the roof items up there. It worked out pretty good. Zack was pretty interesting in seeing it work.

This is after a lot of the crappy rubber, old insulation from ages ago and siding were removed. He shoveled it all off, and it was soaked under all of those layers due to leaks in the rubber. Our chimney on the right of the pic, which leads down into our kitchen.

View of the cleaned off roof toward the house. You can see now what I mean by "lower roof?" The slate was unfortunately cheaply repaired with tar instead of fixed correctly.

This picture was angled away from the house. Flat top and underneath it all are boards, which were still OK to use thank goodness. Just needed to be aired out.
