October 29: The Roof

Six years we've been in our house. And, during those six years I've been obsessed with getting a new roof put on it. Today, thanks to a storm I've mentioned before in this blog, my new roof day finally arrived. In our first house, we had a roof installed, so this wasn't the first new roof I've had in a home I own. However, in our first house, the roof was part of the negotiations to purchase the house and, therefore, installed prior to us moving in. Today, seeing as I work from home, I was able to experience the entire process from inside the house. Loud. That's about the only way to describe it. On more than one occasion, I was convinced that a roofer would be crashing through my ceiling. Didn't happen though, and everything turned out as planned. A small price to pay for a 6-year dream, I guess.
