Roofing setback resolved...Phew!

The roofing company showed up on Saturday morning and started peeling back the newly installed roof to lay the missing underlayment and screws.  They worked through the weekend finally finishing the whole thing by 8:30pm Sunday evening.

I was supposed to work on Sunday but I was feeling intense pressure to be onsite for the day so requested the day off.  Fortunately my boss was very understanding (and likely due to it being a slow weekend) and authorized the day off....naturally without pay (tack that to the cost of the roof)!

I'm glad I was onsite to see the work as it progressed and to feel confident the roof was installed the way it was intended and that care was exercised to insure the four newly installed skylights as well as other potential leak points were properly flashed and sealed against the often nasty torrential downpours and hail storms the state of Texas serves up from time to time.

By 830pm I was ready for them to be gone!!  It was a long day!

Curved surfaces require creative flashing!

The skylights are flashed, the roof is flashed, I feel good.....bring on the rain!!!
