Tarp Blue


Ghetto Slip & Slide just add dish soap and a helmet.
 The lovely view out of my up stairs bathroom window. On a bright & sunny day the tarp blue glow, smoothing and shall I dare say tranquil reflects off the walls of my bath ... yeah what a load of  ... this is the twin of my house which sits about 12 feet away with it's newly tarpped roof.
Apparently a bank owned home can be tarpped without repercussions.
No certified love letters speaking of fines & confinement in the big house. Oh no sweet salutations from the code man for those people.
Poor bastards.

For me a common homeowner I just work two jobs and continue to interview roofers. Hopefully I'll have til late October to earn enough.

Wouldn't a tarp camouflaged roof be the bomb baby ?

I'm gonna need a helmet.

    Hmmm...good friend of mine spent a lot of her hard-earned money for a blue metal roof. She did not want to buy another roof as long as she lived. Only metal roof in her suburb; everyone else has ashphalt shingles.

    I think it looks nice and she made a good decision. Now her place is a landmark of sorts; "You know, that house with the blue roof".

    Oh, yes. Glad to see you are hanging in there. Had not seen post for a while.

    Lol, your comment hit the nail on the head so to speak. Hubby & I have been having a go around. He says asphalt shingles I say metal. I so don't want to be doing "this" in 50 years.
    Still no luck with roofers seems that when their flush with work they don't give written estimates or call backs.
