Our home insurance carrier sent out an inspector a couple of weeks after closing as the companies normally do. I did not think anything of it. Then we got a phone call that they were going to cancel their coverage! What?!?!
The main reason being the condition of our roof and chimney. We budgeted for this but were going to wait for warmer weather like normal people but the insurance people had a different time line in mind!
Here is was before.
The chimney was rough, no doubt. The roof was not horrendous though but we were planning on replacing it anyway.
Luckily we are having a strange winter weather wise and we could get this work done. The other bonus was that the contractors don't have a bunch of jobs lined up either so they came out right away. I think it was only a week since being notified by the insurance company and then having the contractors starting their work. Amazing!
The chimney guy and the roof guy knew each other well and were able to coordinate efforts which was a beautiful thing!
I'm very proud of this since I dealt with the contractors for the most part getting referrals, contacting them, getting estimates, etc. We are extremely pleased with our choices.
I wish I filmed us trying to choose the roof shingles! We were all over the place from light grey to medium grey to black. Who knew that would be a difficult choice! We ultimately decided on a charcoal grey which is perfect.
Going Bold
How so? Going natural meaning all gray! I have been battling gray hair since my teens and it has become way too stubborn in recent years. I'm done coloring! So to get there quicker I have started with a bob.

Here you can see what my hair color is going to be! Yikes! I have never been one to worry what people think so I'm just going to rock going gray in my early 40s!
Where did this inspiration come from? A fabulous documentary on Iris Apfel that is on Netflix. I highly recommend looking it up if you have Netflix and feel in need of a little inspiration in your life. What an icon!
Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a fabulous week ahead! ~Val
