My house has a massive backyard, which is one of the reasons I bought the place. My wife and kids all love the outdoors, so we spend a great deal of time outside. We enjoy bonfires, having cookouts, playing sports, and sunbathing next to the pool. One activity we all enjoy is frisbee golf, which is exactly what it sounds like. Alas, sometimes a frisbee can take on a life of its own, and go sailing far off course. When a frisbee lands on the roof it’s not a big deal, because I have a dozen more frisbees. Once several of them are up on the roofing I need to get out the ladder and climb up to retrieve them. A few days ago this happened, and it led to the discovery that I need a full roof replacement. I am not talking about simple roof repair here, I need to have an entire new one put on my house! I am not a roofing expert, but I know that sheet plywood is laid down over the support beams and then covered with shingles. Although the shingles on my roof looked fine from down below, once I put weight on them I realized the wood beneath was damaged and crumbling to pieces. I immediately called a local roofing company to get an expert opinion. Thankfully, the roofing expert was able to calm me down, and said that the damage wasn’t as extensive as I thought. He also told me about sheet metal roofing, which was a little cheaper and a lot more durable.
