The house we have is 105 years old and the roof didn't look that good after last winter.
I guess it is about 60 years ago they changed the tiles, so I put up some scaffolding
and had 5 friends over to take off the tiles. It took us 4 hours of work to rip it off.



The roof on one side didn't look to bad, but I knew I wouldn't know for sure before all tar paper and
timber is removed.

The other side was a sorrow. 2/3 of the timer was rotten after a couple of old leaks has damaged the
it over years. Some was totally gone.




I removed all rotten/damaged stuff








and made new. A lot of climbing up and down the ladder.





And in the end put on 5000 kg of new tiles. (about 11000 LBS)



New chimney and some metal sheets are things I'm waiting for.

Nice work. You looking for a job?


Seriously, I've seen "professional" work that wasn't that neat. Very nice.


Can't help but wonder how bad that chimney is that someone decided to cover it in tin, though.

Great Job!

Thanks

Actually the chimney is perfect. 100 years old and no cracks or damage.
The tin is put on to keep away horizontal rain and snow to damage it.
They put them on all houses in the neighbourhood about 60 years ago.
Fall and winter are pretty bad around here.

Last night we had a storm, and it uprooted a tree behind the house.
A 60 foot birch was hanging over the power lines 10 feet from our new garden shed.





The power line company are now cutting it down.
Hopefully the new shed is still standing when we get home from work

Thats a neat old house. Interesting roofing too. I've only ever seen the tar shingle roofs torn down.

Clean Job!

We love the house

90% of houses in Norway has tiles or cement stone on the roof..
Very few have shingle.
