5 Roofs Later, a Newer Greener Roof



This is a picture of the debris from the layers and layers of roofing from the top of the house. You'd think with all of that tar there wouldn't be any leaks. Not so, unfortunately.

At least the weather has finally gotten better and the new, greener roof can go up. I am contemplating a lighter version of a green roof, one with very light vegetation, but the present contractor will not be the person to put it up. For now, the cheapest, best option is a heavily insulated roof with a light colored coating.
