I think this will be an inconvenient year for me to have to see about getting a new roof [View all]

Apparently the 'gravel' is wearing away. I MIGHT be able to squeeze through until next Spring. Well, I might actually have to, even if that means using tarps. I intended to start calling places early in the Spring but that's when everything closed down. Then, with all of the yard and garden work to do, it just slipped from my mental 'to do' list.

I have two companies coming by for estimates. I know everyone is running so far behind due to work backlog and availability of staff so if I'm close to critical, hopefully they can give me good advice on maintaining until the work can be done. Fortunately, except for the gravel, the shingles seem secure and I don't have any discernable leaks.

This is one of those times I miss being an apartment dweller
