Rusty Roof in North Carolina

/

One day after we completed the stairs it was time to for a new roof. The addition portion, front porch and the covered “walkway” leading up to the side entry all had to be done. We went back and forth a bit discussing the new color. We considered black but I just didn’t feel good about that and didn’t want the cabin to look like a trendy farmhouse. (nothing against a trendy farmhouse…just not the look we were going for) We settled on just the regular metal, like it had been before.

I told the roofer how much I loved the rust on the roof. This little cabin has had THE LIFE, it’s been places, and I love that it looks worn. He assured me this new roof would never rust, and not gonna lie, I was kind of bummed.

You can see the difference in the new metal and the old!

The actual pitch of the roof will be replaced with new metal during Phase 2. We didn’t want to disrupt the entire house while we were still living here. The pitch portion will come off this spring and we will have new insulation blown in as well. We DID however save all the old rusty tin….more on that to come.

I love the sound of rain on a metal/tin roof. And I have a feeling I will like the rain even more when we can get a little grass to grown again :)
