This was the roof before. You might have to click on the picture to enlarge it to see it better
After. Sorry it's hard to see. I took the picture too late in the day.
But here is a view of the back
Now we have plans to get the windows replaced and then paint the house and trim. We don't know if that will all get done this year or have to wait until next summer.A funny Elenaism associated with the roof: When the roofing guys were taking off the old shingles, it was rather noisy. Elena asked what all that noise is and we said that maybe it was Santa Clause. Her eyes got wide and then we said, "No, it's not Christmas yet!" (For those of you who have ever watched Muppet Classic Theater with the Three Little Pigs and the whole Santa coming early thing might giggle) Anyway, yesterday she asked me if she could go outside to look at the new roof. I said sure and she went out, backed up, and studied it for a minute. Then she came back and said, "Well, Santa isn't up there right now but Christmas is tomorrow, so he should be back." I couldn't help but laugh right out loud. "He's EARLY!" LOL

nice! it's always nice to be able to get some upgrades done to your house! good luck with the windows, too! we are hoping to be able to do ours too in the next little bit...but who knows, that's what we said last year, too! lol
He's Early! He's Early! Laughing so hard my already sore belly is hurting way more than I want it to. I like the lighter color of the roof. Maybe it will help keep the house about 1 degree cooler!
At least the water wasn't washing out the inside of your house!! But hey, now you don't have to worry about! The new roof looks great and it's so fun doing new things to a house!
The roof looks good. Elena is so cute and makes me laugh.
