When it rains, it pours.

And then it comes through the roof.

We knew we were going to have to address the roof at some point this year after shingles started flying off during a particularly windy storm about a month ago. Then the water started dripping through the bathroom ceiling and it became clear that we'd need to get it replaced sooner rather than later.

The thing is, we also began remodeling our bathroom last week.


The roof was unexpected, but we couldn't really push the schedule for the bathroom back at all because we have company coming mid-May and want it to at least be in working order at that point. So, we had both work crews on Friday and our house basically looked like it had exploded, inside and out. However, the roof crew consisted of my brother and two cousins and the bathroom crew are friends of mine (and are the same guys who did the kitchen), so it was actually nice to have them all there.

The roof should be done in a few days, and the bathroom job will take another few weeks, probably. I'll be posting more photos here as the jobs progress, and you can also follow things by checking out my Flickr sets for each project:

Ah, the joys of homeownership.
