The roofers pulled it off in a day! I know they were professionals but they had to tackle 2000 square feet (186 square meters) in unbearable heat; it was well over 100° F (40° C). The noise level while I was working didn’t matter too much because my cats behaved normally and they’re afraid of thunder and fireworks.
Now comes the good news and the bad news. The good? I don’t have to worry about this for around 50 years (the warranty on the materials). I may also get a break on my insurance (yeah right, the American Extortion Institution). It will raise the next appraisal on my house which I need.
The bad? How much it cost and having to finance this over ten years if I’m lucky. I do have plans to roll this into something else.
For now, I’m going to relax on getting task number three off my back.
