Kara and her hubby had to strip the roof down to the rafters in places, and replace a couple of those, then they had to put particle board on, then rain barrier, then whatever came next, then shingles. Some of the supporting joints (I forget what they are called) under the larger eaves had to be made because they were rotted out, so it has been a major undertaking.
They will not get finished before winter sets in in northern ID. I believe it is a three bedroom house, originally, with a basement, but it was built at a time when rooms were large so the house has quite a few square feet of roof to cover.
Last year, it was the foundation. Her husband works full time, so it has been a real challenge. She said they finally got rid of the construction dumpster in front of their house!
My plan is to call my insurance company and ask them to recommend a roofer. They already had an adjuster look it over , and the estimate was about $650.
