HOC: New Roof for the Tiny House-of-Chaos
Ugh! I had to get a new roof on the House-of-Chaos before the mean Ohio winter snows started flying. I didn’t want to. I had much better plans for those $4500 dollars. Really, I did! But the one thing I couldn’t abide was the though of me being all nestled into my warm bed on a cold February night when it was a blizzard outside and hearing a creak and a crack that wakes me up only moments before the roof caves in and three feet of wet, gray and icy snow descends upon me.
That was enough of a nightmare for me to shell out the cash.

They worked on it Monday through Thursday and now it looks like this:

They replaced much of the underlay of the roof, where it was leaking between the kitchen and dining room, they laid two new layers of 25-year, dimensional shingles and completely repaired the flashing on my chimney.
Nice job!
