A few weeks ago, we noticed a water stain on one of our ceilings which led us to the conclusion that we needed a new roof. Friday, it was installed. And for new roofs and dry ceilings, I am thankful.
You will rest easier knowing that your roof is in good condition, I'm sure! Thanks for the reminder to be thankful for things we don't normally think about until there is a problem with them.
The roof is one of those really important, really expensive things and the only thing you get out of all that money spent is reassurance. Thankfully they last quite a while.
In these parts roofs seldom get the chance to wear out on their own. They generally get taken out by hail every 5-10 years... so I am way more familiar with having a roof replaced than I'd like to be! Anyhow, so glad you got it done before winter set in, and that you're safe and dry now!
Occasionally, there's hail storm around here where an entire neighborhood gets a new roof and siding, but we've never had that. The salesmen made a big point about how well their shingles stood up against hail (and wind). I hope we never have to see if they're right.

ReplyDeleteThere are a whole lot of out-of-sight, out-of-mind things we take for granted, aren't there?

ReplyDeleteAnd protection for all of those other expensive things you've spent money on. :)
DeleteIt's a good thing to notice before heavy rains with winter. I am thankful to have a roof over my head!
ReplyDeleteI know that you know better than most of the rest of us how wonderful it is to have a good roof over your head.

DeleteYay! Hopefully you got that taken care of before too much snow/rain/what have you! Here's to dry ceilings :)
ReplyDeleteNo snow yet, but the rain keeps coming. So far, so good, but it's hard to tell if there is any new leaking until we get the old damage cleaned up.
