The workers started tearing apart the roof on Monday. Fortunately, they found that the rafters were fine (no mold or warpage), so just the plywood had to be replaced. By Tuesday, all the new plywood and underlayment were in place.
Fairly early on Thursday the roof was completed:
You can't tell by the picture, but the color is Forest Green. Doesn't much matter, it's not nike anyone can see the roof unless they are in our back yard (or at the neighbor's house during the winter, when no leaves are on the trees) - I just wanted something other than black or gray, so green was what I picked.
Now it is a waiting game for the bank to send someone to inspect it and release money from the escrow account. Then, we should be able to bring someone in to do the siding. We have decided to replace the 4 side windows too (the only windows that we haven't replaced in the last 4 years) so WS will probably do the stripping of the siding. That will save us about what 3 of the windows cost, so we should come in at right around what we budgeted.
Somehow, it seems that this plan is coming together (knock on wood!).
Your roof must look very much like the one on the fire station up Rock Road from us (a bit south of Meadowlark/71st St). It, too, is forest green. Your roof should serve you nicely!
