We had a beautiful tile roof... 20 years ago...
We have debated for a couple of years of if we were going to replace the tiles, put down an asphalt roof or a metal roof.
But, the time had came to quit talking and get the project done.
With a LOT of help from FAMILY and FRIENDS
the tiles came off.

Sergio and Josh
After the tile was off and new boards, insulation and tar paper was placed down,
we had to wait for our metal to arrive ( we had problems with our order)
and when it arrived we were grateful because a storm was to arrive in the next day.
It rained off and on in the morning...and then the storm moved away from our home.
(Kira and I went to town and it POURED on us.
I was sick to think that Kirk and Sergio were not being able to roof in all that rain and the damage that was being done to the material that was down.)
When we arrived at the house, there was very little sign of any rain falling on them. Kirk said it had sprinkled for about a minute and that was it.
Again with help from family and friends... and Kirk and Sergio spending 2 days none stop...
The roof was done...
Well, almost...we are still missing the metal trim,
but if it rains I don't have to worry about it raining inside the house too.
So, it looks like a metal roof, defiantly not an old world tile roof, but it is nice.
And the tiles...
We might sell them, but I think we will use them along the river to help with holding our bank in place.
It will be interesting to see how much of our river bank is gone after having flood level waters most of the Spring. The river will drop during the winter and will show us what work will need to be done.
What do you think?
Do you like metal roofs?
