Raindrops are falling on my head.

Woke up to the sound of water in the bathroom. The roof had started to leak. Fortunately it was leaking right into the bathtub! Time to re-roof the old homestead.

My roof seems to have gotten steeper in the years since I last repaired the roof.

Set up the ladder and started removing the roofing shingles. I used to be comfortable on the roof, not any more. My center of gravity has changed over the years.

Ripped off all the old shingles, installed plywood and new shingles, and hopefully I am good for another twenty years.

Those dumpster guys are greedy bastards. Dumping the old roofing materials has become a very expensive operation.

I liked the view of my neighborhood from my roof. It was pleasing to me to look out over the neighbor's houses and soak in my little place in the city.

It looks like a few other homeowners are working on their houses, too.
