The rains might be here earlier than normally expected and on Monday I got a call from Brian of Structural FX that the roofers were going to be there Tuesday morning. I'll bet everyone is calling the roofers right now to close up before the rains but fortunately Brian was able to mobilize and Hallmark roofing showed up with a massive crew. They put the paper on yesterday to seal it and today they have about 15 people up top putting the sheet metal and shingles on. Another fabulous sub contractor showing up on time and doing a great job!
We went with Elk brand 40 year shingles and chose their "sable" black color. The black should go well with our exterior color, a golden yellow, but should also be able to match up with just about any exterior we'd choose. It might create a little more heat in the attic because of the black color but our solar powered attic fans should address that. We went with 3 Solatube units - www.solatube.com
Monday was really busy putting in all the remaining items that protrude through the roof - electrical conduits, holes for the solar panel frames, plumbing vents, stove hood vent, flues for the hot water tank and furnaces, solar powered attic fans, a pipe to connect satellite TV dishes to, etc.
Fortunately, the weather is holding up!
