Slate Roof Repairs

This was our first big job we hired out for.  Slate roof repaired. New copper around the chimneys.  We also had the slate roof taken off the summer kitchen, as that needed to come down.  Having it resulted in a total mess.  6 years later and we're still picking bits of slate out of the yard.

The thing about our slate is it's put on top of wooden shakes. The shakes can be seen from the attic and crawl space.  There isn't any type of tar paper or moisture barrier.  Makes for interesting snow drifts in the winter.
