What a big job these 2 had to do.  The roof was rotting where it had been leaking, and it had 3 layers of shingles in someplaces, and 4 layers of roofing in other areas.   They just kept moving it off the roof and hauling it away.  The roof was repaired, boards replaced, and then a 1/2 inch CDX  plywood installed over it all for good measure.  Ice stuff at the drip edge, and tar paper the rest of it, and a decent shingle provided by Morse Lumber right here in Wells, and FREE delivery! along with that plywood as well.   They used that new pvc white along the clapboards, at roof edge because the old clapboards had rotted away.  It looks good, but we need an inspection done on this work, it looks awkward where the addition meets the farmhouse roof.

The weather was rather warm, and no fun at all, but day after day, with a few days off due to rain, and then they were back at it and finished.
OK, so Yesterday !!! we had the Hurricane Sandy, (this is MAINE) and winds that seemed like they were going to tear off the roof -- but these were installed with 5 nails per shingle -- I was told it would hold up to high winds.   it held up to gusts estimated to have been 50-60 mph.

The area around the chimney leaked.  When we were out in the old pantry end, the wall is damp where water came in under the window above the roof.

While some days varied as to hours worked, they were here working when weather was good, and kept at it, so we gave them an A for punctuality.....   but we have issues.
