So, for some, this excitement I have might seem stupid as hell. But you know what? I finished my first roof!

(Featuring my mom, who is not experiencing her first roof, this was like her second or third time roofing.) Now, the things is I haven’t slept in my room for coming up to five years now. Yeah. I haven’t had a room for that long. 

We have had to use it as nothing but storage with stuff that wouldn’t get damaged. But for the most part, our roof leaked and it caused major damage in my room. So, yeah. Haven’t slept in there since (Especially when we put some plants in there and they got sick. And mom struggled to keep them alive after taking them out of the room. They didn’t make it despite being outside and her green thumb)

Have to say, I am happy with the fact we redid the whole roof to fix the major problem. It isn’t the best work, seeing as my family and I did it ourselves, but it works just the same. We got new wood down, put on the tarpaper and flashing, and then I got to work on the shingles. We accidently got two different colors, but we decided to use them anyways, and I got mixed up on one row... and just kept the pattern since mom like it. Copied on the other side, and then got the ridge on. It was rather fun for a first time. But now, since that is done, we can finally work on getting the ceiling in my room done! And that is what I am so happy about! This was the major step to getting to sleep in my room!
