Another Leak, Another Patch

It is a common sang that all boats are sinking, just some at faster rates than others.  I am beginning to come to terms that this is true for houses as well. Not so much sinking as taking on water…

I noticed that the garage roof was leaking in two spots. Dad and I crawled up there last weekend and noticed a really bad spot of shingles. 

So Sunday, Dad showed me how to remove the shingles, and then went to take pictures… I mean carry the shingles on to the roof.

So we removed the worst of the shingles and then started to attach the new ones.   The last time the roof was replaced the old shingles were not removed.  Now, I know this is common practice but after the layers and layers in the kitchen and bathroom that got removed I find it kind of frustrating, like couldn't you do anything to help me out.  Take off old layers before you put on the new one, at least once?

The new ones are a different color but that really helps to see which ones were replaced. 


Here is a picture of all of the news ones in places.  Dad estimated that this could put off a full repair for another year, I hope he is right!

We also tarred around the vents, dad thinks that might be where the actual issues is.
