Cheyenne Roof 2

Here are the last few pictures from Cheyenne. This new roof looked really good. We also got lucky one night. While the roof was only about half done, there was a big storm with some tornadoes. The weather guy had it headed right toward this house (and mine - I only lived a few miles away). Luckily just before the storm got to me it veered further south. We got some heavy rain, but no damage was done the the partially completed roof.

Cheyenne Roof 1

While I had other things getting done at Buena Vista, I did a roofing job I got on a referral. There was a little shed in the back that was in pretty sad shape. We added it to the job, too.

This does not do justice to the horrible shape of the old shingles on this roof. All the grain was worn away and nothing but the fiberglass backing was left. I had never seen anything like this.

Another mediocre view of the old roof.

Roofing makes a mess. We moved that white tarp to keep debris out of the shrubbery as we tore down the two layers of old shingles.
