Get on your roof once in awhile....

When we bought my dad's old house in Sebring, we were told that we would need a new roof in a couple of years. That was 18 months ago.

On a whim, I decided to go up and take a look and clean it up, remove leaves, from the gutters, etc...

Wow! The old roof was literally peeling in certains spots, lots of bubbles, etc....

I found a guy who removed 4 layers of old roofing material and installed a burn down roof for 4500.00

Most of the original tongue in groove planks from 1926 were still in great shape, with the exception of 3 or 4 which he replaced.

Had I not been nosy, it would have really caused some major damage when the summer rains hit.


Anyone have any experience with a burn down roof?
