Our peaceful mountain valley has one drawback...the WIND! At times we experience strong prolonged winds which have played havoc on our roof. Our home is very tall and the days of us doing any of our own shingle repair are long gone. So after, yet again, a few more shingles took sail we decided it was time to fix the problem for good.
All the expenses we've incurred with this refresh have exceeded our original plan, but it sure beats having to move! Asheville area real estate continues to be a hot market so hopefully that will hold for a good long time until we are ready to sell.
Note...it's the middle of Oct. and there is barely any of our famous fall color...most trees still have their leaves. They say it's because we've had such a warm and dry fall....UNTIL now....it was 35 degrees when I got up at 5:00 AM and rain is predicted.

It's always something......that new roof will look great, though! Our fall color was slow getting here, too, but it's starting to look good now. You should have glorious color in a week or so. One of our most beautiful trips was to Asheville in the fall, so I know how absolutely breathtaking your area will be. Enjoy!
Part of home ownership isn't it...changes are sometimes needed or wanted...but when it's all over with it is wonderful!!! Good luck!!!
Oh good grief - lol. At least you are looking on the bright side - matching gutters, the end to fears of decapitation due to flying shingles . . .
