Yes, a whopper of a storm rolled through here on Monday, and the roofers did not attempt to install the roof in the pouring rain and high winds. However, on Tuesday they made up for lost time!
The roof is complete and it looks fantastic. The only drawback is that it looks so nice that it makes me really notice how shabby the white trim looks. I'll need to get up there ASAP with a scraper and re-paint the white trim under and around the eves. And yes, the roof above the porch will be getting some new crisp black shingles soon.
I hired a professional metal roof company to do this job mostly due to the extremely steep angle of the roof (12-12 pitch), and because neither Rob nor I had ever cut metal panels on angles to conform to a dormer window.
The company I went with was USA Home Improvement Solutions in Scranton Pennsylvania. They were a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. Their price was real nice, and the work looks better than I expected. If anyone is looking for a metal roof in N.E. PA, give them a call at (877) 872-3398

Very nice improvements and what a neat find on the year of construction. I've never heard of that boiler maker but I'll drink to that! Germans are great when it comes to engineering. You are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing the progress.
