We've had a roof leak in the house since last winter when we were in Mexico. Have had people out to patch it a couple of times, leake kept returning. Finally called home owners ins. to see if they would do any thing. The insurance company sent our a roofer to check the whole roof- he said there was exensive wind damage on it and we needed a new roof. Crap. So called ins and they sent out an adjuster who also checked it out and miracle of miracles agreeded. So we now have a whole new roof - thank you home owners insurance! - Thought I share a couple of pictures of the workers. Our roof is 12 pitch about as steep as they make. Compnay sent out 15 guys (all from the wonderful Mexican town of Guanajuato - the town with all the tunnels I wrote about) Any way they almost finished it in one day. ONly had to come back a couple of hours the next day.
old roof already off - note walking boards on front side of roof
Working on the really steep part they were using ropes to keep them up there
I couldn't watch him.
Almost finished
So it is done and looks real pretty.
They did a heck of a job of cleaning up too. Even used a big magnet to find all the dropped nails.
That pitch is so steep, would have been
