Roofing party! Tons of help from great friends. I can sleep a lot better at night now.

A funny story about roofing:

I measured up my roof and calculated the square footage, then ordered all the suplies. At the same time, I ordered enough shingles to do the sunporch as well, for a later date. I had the whole load delivered by boom truck.

As soon as the boom truck had left, I realized I was in BIG trouble... I had all the shingles (35 bundles) up on the garage roof. I somehow had to get 13 bundles over to the sunporch, and they weigh ~80lbs each. I had no idea how I was going to do it, and I couldn't waste time on it anyway because the sunporch wasn't going to be done till later. Still, enough to keep me awake at night, scheming and figuring.

Well, when we started doing the main part of the roof, we realized we were going through shingles FAST. When we stopped for lunch, I had a look at my numbers again.

I had measured the roof as 17' across, instead of 27'. Um... yeah.

I used 33 out of the 35 bundles... With all the "extra" shingles I had ordered for the sunporch, we had just enough. God looks after drunks and fools.
