This week, throughout the high heart of the mountains we started to rebuild and reconstruct the roof of a couple’s home. The roof started as what we thought would be simply, gently removing the layers of shingles and roofing material and laying new, better material on top. When we opened up the roof we found a roof and a family in dire need of help. Many sections of the roof were rotted away, several sections have multiple layers of roofing on it, 7 in one area and one section of the roof was built using 2x4’s over an old section in an attempt to clear the roof of water. Instead it caused a place for water to settle. We are doing our best to fix the home, so the couple, their daughters, and their grandson, along with their many cats and dogs will never have to worry about their roof leaking or falling again.
