New roof to our new home

With a bright sunny day it's time to start attacking the rotten roof, the roof we have since found out that is built from several layers of roof. You can see in the picture below just how rotten the roof was.

It was quite an apocalyptic sight seeing my kitchen without a roof, the kitchen isn't great anyway and the plan is to replace the new kitchen once the roof is repaired and the room actually dry but here i really felt like there wasn't even much of a house to live in anymore.

You can see on the below image the scarring left on the wall from the additional roofs that had been built over the top of each other. Hopefully now we will just put the one roof back on and this time it will be done properly, with real roofing materials and not a wardrobe panel in sight!

With the night drawing in it was time to stop the roof build for the day, with some roofing felt an a few beams in place we were relatively dry for the night and will continue the rest of the roof ripping it off and repairing it tomorrow.

  1. Hey there, Amanda. Seems like everything started from chaos, but I’m sure that with proper planning and execution, you will have a nice new roof and home. Metal roofs protect homes from extreme weather events. They offer numerous benefits, one of which is helping to reduce the homeowner’s carbon footprint. We’d be glad to see pictures of your finished house. How’s everything today? Kermit Lukacs
