Finally

Last week was a rough week for this project. One roofer was fired and another one hired. Then we gave the first roofer a second chance and fired the other one.

The bottom line was that nothing was getting done on the roof and that delay was holding us up everywhere else. So after a few strong words and even a few tears on his part, I gave the roofer one week, and tomorrow is the deadline. After working on it all weekend, the roofer brought in a new subcontracting crew to do the work, and they have been working diligently all week.

After surveying the work this morning, I think they will make it for the most part, and the new crew thinks they have fixed the leak that was also plaguing this effort. Let's hope so. The insulation installers arrive on Wednesday.

The roof is galvalume metal, which is  common for coastal homes. Metal roofs are known for their energy efficiency, but they also give a nice, "Old Florida" feel to the architecture.
