Day 31

Day 31: Shingles
The roof is completely framed and shingles were delivered today. Just today we changed our shingle choice. When Barry touched base with the framers as he left for work, Merv brought up what he saw we had chosen for shingles which was a basic three-tab shingle. He said he personally would never choose that for a steep roof like ours that sits out and gets a lot of wind. He said we would probably have broken tabs every time it storms. So we decided to investigate and found that it wasn't a bad price to upgrade to a dimensional shingle. I spent my morning driving up to the roofing place to check them out. Fortunately, they had the same manufacturer and color in the dimensional shingle AND they were in stock. So, no delays and our shingles were delivered as scheduled.
