The Roof is Started!

The actual roof surface is now under construction! The roofers started with the front porch area. The material is a tri-metal, layered system with a protective coating. A combination of layers of aluminum, galvanized steel and tin are bonded together and then a flexible layer of a plastic material is laid on top (and adds the color), then the panels are sealed.
The roofers simply measure, cut, nail and seal. This is a 25 year roof so I will not be up there with my rappeling gear anytime soon!
