The Garage and The Chimney

THE GARAGE
on the day that the roofers roofed the front of the house, the garage roof was started as well... this is the garage, with a dumpster in front of it. the roof was so leaky that we had strapped a tarp on top with the help of our friends during Tropical Storm Danny.

old roof- note the many layers of shingles peeling off...

getting started on the garage...

i'm pretty sure this is the exact moment when one roofer told the head roofer that they hadn't ordered enough shingles to cover the house and the garage...

the end of the day...

the end of the next day...


THE CHIMNEY
we had decided to take out the chimney after we got the new boiler because there was no more need for it. we do not have a fireplace and it takes up precious space in the house. here it is, with the old chimney cap still on top, un-updated. (note the darker grey/green color of the back half of the roof).


here is the oddly colored patch we found at the end of the day




we asked them to keep the bricks from the chimney...potential garden bed border? we are also keeping the old chimney cap, to the right...awesome plant stand?

this is the oddly colored shingle that they patched our chimney hole with....the head roofer (who is more of a GC and does not do the roofing) agreed that the red in this shingle does not match the grey green color of the roof...

to be continued...
