The roof! The roof! (July 2012)

Last October we'd intended to replace the roof. We had scheduled a weekend to tackle the job not once, but twice. Both times we were washed out with record amounts of rainfall. So the leaky tin roof remained until Mark, Chad and Ray had time to work on it over July 4th, 2012. After stripping the tin off, we could see that several pieces of plywood needed replacing. After that, we added drip edge, installed ice and water shield over the entire thing, added a ridge vent, and installed shingles. One of the first things people ask us is why we didn't use new tin instead of shingles - the answer is simple: the shingles were free, found curbside in CT :-)
