new top hat

Let's all take a moment to admire my new roof..

Ah yes, that feels good. The flashing over the porch is kind of prominent, but doesn't bother me too much. I don't think we had any flashing with the old roof, so this is obviously superior. We also got some flashing on the chimney stacks which was also previously non-existent. A roof vent has also made an appearance -- hopefully we can cut those summer temperatures a bit. Didn't have any of that either. It's kind of hard to appreciate the color of this shingle. It's a little darker than the old shingle. Kind of light charcoal, with brown and green-blue highlights. I think it gives a much nicer contrast than the old roof. We're hoping to get the painters out soon to complete the look. More on that later..
