We Got A New Roof Today POTW 16

Some nice men delivered shingles to our house yesterday:


Their truck had a cool crane that fork lifted the shingles up to the roof so they could unload them:


This morning at 7 a pack of 6 very nice men came and made LOTS and LOTS of noise on my roof all day.  Here is when they first started scraping shingles off:


All the trucks and gear getting unloaded.  They spread tarps all around the house to catch falling shingles and nails:


Making some progress with the removal:





After they got the shingles off the roof they hammered for an hour or so to get all the nails that didn't come off with the shingles down all the way.  That was really loud.  Then they swept and vaccumed.  It was all very tidy:


I had some visiting teaching to do so when I got back only two hours later they already had a lot of the front finished!


The nice men left at about 2:30.  Here's the final product in the shade:


And here is POTW 16:

Your new grey roof shines beautifully under the sun, that must be a metal roof. Metal roofs last for 12 to 20 years and they keep can make your house comfortable regardless of the whether outside because Metal roofs are one of the best insulators - they can lessen your air conditioning or heating bills.

Your contractors worked really fast. They were able to finish everything before it gets dark. I’m pretty sure you are happy with your new roof. The lighter color of the roof gives a vibrant atmosphere to your home.

Thank you for the bloger that I do learn something from it. Wedding day is readlly a very important day in our life, so we should charish it and wear the most exclusive christmas jewelry, having beautiful gemstone necklace to decorate the hair, also wearing nice pearl drop earrings and wish pearl.

Your roof looked entirely different! The new roof blends perfectly with the wall paint, which increased the aesthetic aspect of your home. It seems to me that your roofing contractor did the work fast, since they were able to complete your roofing replacement project in less than a day. Kudos to them and to you for choosing reliable roofing experts!
