No, not the knockout drug dispensers, these guys are here to get a roof on. The old roof dates back to the late 70s when we built the cabin. We did all the work ourselves on the original cabin, but time and weather had taken its toll, on all. We tried to get something done last summer, but couldn't connect with any roofing contractors. This time a friend suggested I talk to one of the roofing suppliers in town and they gave me a list of three names. The third one on the list had the lowest bid and turned out to be a great guy to work with. We also decided to replace the fiberglass insulation with insulfoam to increase the insulation and make it easier to heat the house. He knew a contractor that did spray foaming and would coordinate the work with him. So after several rain delays, they got to work on it.
First they had to remove the old roofing and insulation, then spray the insulfoam. I bagged up as much of the old insulation as would fit in the garage loft and will use it to insulate the loft.
Then the roofers laid down the new steel panels. Pretty amazing to watch these thirty something guys scurry around on the roof. Brings back memories of when we installed the original roof back in the day.
Now they're installing snow guards, to keep the snow avalanching off in the spring, and a roof ladder for cleaning the stove pipe. Pretty neat stuff.
