a roof over our heads

A few months back we had one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong. Investigating a weird smell in our sunroom we discovered significant water damage to our drywall. Ugh.

After a few days of despair, fretting over the worst case scenarios of repairs - complete demo of the sunroom? new skylights? new roof? - we were referred to a local roof guy who, thankfully, convinced us that it was all a result of hail damage. Hail damage that could possibly be covered by homeowners insurance. After waiting for the adjusters report, with bated breathe, we got the good news. New roof and repairs to the back room. Can I get an "Amen!"?

So the roof process began, and ended, without much drama. 6 TONS of roofing material was removed from the roof (can you say not-up-to-code), and one sunroom window was broken.

Bejos boy was enthralled with the men on the roof and still asks after them each and every day. He is also excited by our new "windows" which are actually solar tubes we added onto the process, while the roof was bare.
