Yay!!!! Today is roof day. We've cancelled the roof twice... so third time is a charm right? Minus the threat of high winds (40 mph!), the weather is perfect. Sunny, relatively cool -- and DRY! We're doing an acrylic roof - which is an environmentally friendly cool roof technology. It will be a white roof to reflect the sun, and it is very easy to maintain. Checkout all the details at: http://www.conservationtechnology.com/waterproofing_acrylic.html
We're also getting superduper insulation. The crawl space is getting a sprayfoam seal, then we're blowing in cellulose, and THEN we're putting in a radiant barrier. It's crazy expensive... but this stuff pays for itself right? Ha!
In my opinion, the best part of the roof re-do is my SOLAR TUBE!
Yes... I am now the proud owner of a beautiful solar tube (http://www.solatube.com/homeowner/) It is an amazing technology that far surpasses leaky skylights. The tube will reflect daylight into the upstairs hallway. I can't wait to get over to the house tonight and see it.
very interested in seeing that solar tube in action. who'd you use?

ReplyDeleteWho'd we use??? We used Chris... and his dad! Yep, "we" (and by we I mean Chris) put in the solar tube all by ourselves.
