Today three layers of roofing were removed from our house. We live in a house that is 103 years old.We knew the garage had been roofed this way, I guess we never considered the house was also done this way. After the rafters were in, the outside was covered with what they could find of old amunition crates from the Tooele Army Depot. With no additional support the roof was then filled in with shake shingles. Luckily for us the house had 2 more layers of asphalt shingles, so we didn't leak.
Here is one of the roofer's hammering in loose nails. Notice how wide the spaces are...gee whiz!
Our house is completely surrounded by piles of shake shingles. What a mess!
So here we are, cleared of old shingles and ready to start the new roof. With any luck we won't have rain till we finish:)

That's kinda scary, knowing how little was really there! Looks like one big job. Hope everything goes well and you've got a solid roof soon...and that you share it!
You know that phrase "They don't build them like they used to."? I am sure glad that they don't...enjoy your new roof!
Wow, what a scary roof! You'll be so happy with your new one. (and glad that you weren't the one putting it on up there)
