On Saturday, I went and helped put some shingles on my parents new place. This was the first time I’ve seen it in person since the roof was put on the porch and the dormers were set into place. They were a little bit hesitant at first on putting dormers on it, but I think my dad made them the right size and put them in the right place for them to look perfect on it.
This past weekend was spent re-shingling our house. It’s been overdue for a couple of years now, so since we finally had a break in the rain we decided to do it. My dad, Chase and I spent Saturday removing all of the old ones and Sunday we started putting them down. Chase and I did all of the nailing down while my dad made the cuts that were needed, which worked out pretty well. Dad ended up having to finish it on Monday and Tuesday because we were up in Knoxville working on a project. It’s not 100% yet, but should be in the next day or so. We still have the ridge cap to do and one shingle that needs some excess cut off. At first I wasn’t too sure how the color change would look, but I think it looks even better now. Before and after are below.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
