The boys from Bellows arrived early this morning to install the metal roofing. As the truck and trailer were backing in, I did a bit of a double-take; the trailer appeared empty! Was something happening that I was not aware of? Upon closer examination, it was apparent that the trailer did indeed contain the necessary metal roofing to complete the assigned task. However, given my inexperience in matters pertaining to the installation of metal roofing, I did not realize that the sum total of metal roofing necessary to cover a 16x32 foot building amounted to exactly a 1.5 inch stack of roofing. Weighing in a bit north of 600lbs, it constituted a decidedly dense load.
True to form, the fellows from Bellows engaged in the task at hand with the alacrity of seasoned professionals and upon my arrival the roof was in place and the crew long departed. Many thanks for a job well done.
Below is a picture of the new roof. I have also included a photo from little more than a year ago to remind everyone where we started.

Nice little joke on the title there, haha.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, congrats on getting the roofing up there. It's quite nice to see an update, from beginning to the current stage of the house. Indeed, it's cool to see a house rise up from what began as an empty lot.
