New Roof

New roof coming this Friday!! I feel so bad delaying it so much and making the guys do it in the negative degree weather...but I just wanted to get through closing before taking on another project.

We decided to go with a Brownwood shingle. Currently our shingles are like a reddish brown, which I'm not a fan of. Plus having literally 3 layers and the top layer coming up makes our house look so bad. This will be a BIG improvement! The next owners will thank us.

We decided to go with a 3 tab instead of the architectural. I reeeeally wanted the arch. shingle, because they look soo good. However, for our neighborhood and the style of home we have I couldn't justify raking out another $1,000. A new roof is a new roof. Regardless the next owners will be happy we did it.

I will say one thing. The roofing company we chose has a good heart. We wanted to replace our whirlybirds, because I feel like they are the original ones to the home, which was built like in 1972...They are ugly faded light green. YUCK! I want brown ones to blend in with the new roof. The roofing guy told us if we provide them they will install them, and that will save us a lot of money. So luckily Wes has a friend and we are getting the roofing company price (which is way cheaper than what we would be charged) plus an additional 15% off. (The friend price) haha. NICE! Times like this makes it truly apparently that we are so blessed and the luckiest people ever! Small things like that make me cry, because what did I ever do to deserve such kindness from people.

After this weekend I will be able to sleep in peace knowing that all of Wes' hard work won't go to waste, because we have solid grounds above our head.
