Biggest home improvement yet

We knew this day was coming.  The time when the house needed reroofing.  Despite our best attempts to stretch out a cedar shake roof beyond a 20-year lifetime, the time had come.  Who knew that picking out a color to reroof would be so hard!  We drove all over the area trying to find houses in the materials we were considering.  But pitch, time to day, number of trees, orientation can all change how the same composite shingle looks.  Well, we finally decided on a color (on our vacation, no less!) after weeks of agonizing.  (Decisions are not my strong suit.)  Any roof was more important than the "perfect" color.  We just want this one to last so we don't have to listen to 2 days of racket ever, ever again.  What do you think?

  1. Not as much contrast as the old roof, but very new and fresh. And done! Always good to have something finished and off the to-do list, isn't it?!
