Up on the roof ....

The roofing guys were here shortly after 8 this morning to redo the front porch roof. It's a rolled roof with a slight slope. The picture is after they have put down the torchable roofing (they used a torch to melt/adhere the pieces together. They'll come back later to paint it silver. The old roof developed a leak over the past couple of months and some water had made its way through the ceiling of the porch. The good news is the roofers said the boards and joists are solid. It's costing about $700 but is worth it to have someone else do it since roofing is not one of my strong points -- to say the least.

My brother Stephen said he'll help when it's time to put down new tongue-and-groove boards on the porch flooring. That should be soon.
