For nearly multiple years, I resisted putting a new roof on our house.
Because of the age of the house plus many layers plus patches to the roof, all of us needed to completely tear it off plus update.
The cabin is seriously giant plus the roof steeply pitched, making the project labor-intensive plus costly. Every time it rained, our partner plus I ran around placing buckets plus pots under the drips. The people I was with and I realized that the moisture was steadily causing mangle to the structure of the house. The people I was with and I had stains forming on the ceilings in certain rooms. After every windstorm, I’d found stray shingles in the lawn. The people I was with and I finally took out a house improvement loan plus hired a roofing company. They started the task in early July, when the outside temperature was in the upper eighties with high humidity. Since our cabin was open to the elements, all of us couldn’t operate the cooling system. The people I was with and I lived with an boiling, sticky plus dirty house. There was constant dust, bugs plus noise. The roofing companys began truly early in the morning plus trampled our gardens. I couldn’t wait for them to finish up. I assumed it would take the cooling system a long time to cool down the cabin plus expected to face an seriously high energy bill. I was surprised when every room was perfectly cool within an minute. Since replacing the roof, the cabin is so much more comfortable. There’s less temperature stratification plus inconsistency between rooms. Both the oil furnace plus cooling system run less often, plus I’m saving a significant amount on lower utility bills. I’ve even noticed an improvement in the cleanliness plus air quality of our living environment. I now wish we’d updated the roof years earlier.
