Re-roofing sucks, just look at this!


Recommended Posts

I have to re-roof my house, and of course the previous owner must have thought that by adding layer upon layer upon layer upon layer would never have any repercussions whatsoever. Think i am kidding? here is some proof.

Furthermore after all that asphalt came off there was a layer of wood shake under that and the roof was still leaking!

It is total chaos under there look at this crap, it took me two days to get it all back level and re-sheeted.

I have the front done, this picture make the new shingles look gray but they are actually shades of brown and here is the ironic part, the asphalt shingles i chose are suppose to look like wood shake. LOL, is that irony?

The really stupid part is I have to do this by myself, my wife works graveyard, and my kids are 12 and 10. The 10year old helps some, he staples in the tar paper and hold the tape measure/stands on boards and helps hold stuff in place when one guy can't do it. But you know how kids are, 90 degrees out and they fall out pretty quick.

wow i don't think i have ever seen that many layers of shingles before , i think most codes 3 layers is when you SHOULD tear off . in minnesota , that with a snow load likes to bring the roof down sometimes . looking good

Same here, they don't want more than two layers. I can get insurance on the roof right now, so i am trying to get this finished. I still have so much more to do and i have no idea how i will do that steep part, Roof jacks and friends i guess. I just need to find a way to bribe them into coming down to help.

No doubt- roofing is some hard work anyway. But that is madness you had going on there! I have an old house too- gotta' love the stuff you find. The part you've done looks great.
