It's pouring rain outside.

But I don't care. Nope. Not a bit.
This whole winter I've been dreading each time snow or rain would fall from the sky. We had a bit of a leaking issue you see. And installing insulation and drywall under a leaky roof is....well...high on the stupid chart. So obviously the situation had to be addressed. There was a lot of talk (mostly from my part) about tarping the roof. I even went to the trouble of buying one huge massive blue tarp. Classy right? "Can't take the country out of the girl", or whatever.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, we didn't do that.
We.
Got.
A.
New.
Roof.
Instead!
Woohoo!


We haggled, I mean, negotiated like champs and I think we got a pretty sweet deal. So there it is. A new EPDM rubber roof with brand new gutters and downspouts. These pics are of the addition roof only. Sorry, I didn't feel like climbing up again.

Wait, I thought you said there was no snow on the roof...

Dear whoever told my next door neighbor that all the snow had melted off of my roof,
That wasn't very nice of you. That gets peoples hopes up. Then those people have to force their friends who have taken the early bus from Manhattan up a very long steep ladder* to shovel the ten inches of snow that is actually on the roof.
Thanks,
K




*There was totally no forcing involved, she was actually very willing. Trooper. Me on the other hand...

Puppy!
