A little over a month ago we were told by our homeowners insurance company that we needed to replace our roof or they were going to drop our insurance. Finding insurance in Florida is hard enough as it is. Add to that that our house was built in 1970 and it's even harder.
A week ago, we received the money from the home equity line we applied for. We also got the permit to do the roof work ourself. With the help of some wonderful friends and family we were able to get the old shingles and tar paper off in 2 days. It was tough work, but from what I've been told it'll be the hardest part of the process.
Unfortunately, since then it's been raining every day so we haven't even been able to get our first inspection completed (there are 3 different inspections we need to pass). Not only am I watching our deadline quickly approach, but we are constantly checking and adjusting the tarps to make sure they are covering the roof so we don't get any leaks.
With just over 3 weeks left till our deadline, I pray the rain stops long enough for us to get the roof done soon.
