Gustav recovery continues ...

Yesterday, Friday, 05 December 2008, a work crew with Allcraft Roofing & Construction started removing our old roofing materials about 0700 CT.

After a short delay around midday waiting for the correct color shingles to arrive [Our color is 'barkwood.'], the crew finished the installation by about 1700 CT.

We have two new wind-powered attic vent turbines along with all the other new components that make up the roof covering system. The shingles are supposed to be good for thirty (30) years and 100 mph winds. Let us strongly hope so.

This morning, I made my way into the attic to remove various buckets and catch pans from beneath the hole of one of the vent turbines ... the one that had blown away during Hurricane Gustav. I did not slip and put a leg through the great room ceiling this time.

Roofing nails continue to appear on the driveway despite the crew's diligent cleanup activity.
