Closing Day!

We closed on our home on September 1. The closing went well, but the weather didn't. It hadn't rained in weeks, but of course when the first thing we wanted to do was put on a new roof, it rained cats and dogs. The roofers had just torn off the old shingles and started to redeck with radiant barrier when the skies opened up. The previous roof was really in need of repair, but we didn't expect the problems that came with re-roofing. First, we found no insulation at all in most attic areas, so that was added. Second, some of the rafters were rotten and needed to be replaced. When the rains started, the roofer resorted to putting buckets under the leaking areas in the upstairs bedrooms....what a mess! Now, in addition to painting, we have to replace some ceilings. The fun has just begun.
