The new roof

Here is a side view of the gable porch end on the garage.  We wanted a little space to put the grill away from the house and the siding but with a roof area.
This is the view from the back door to the garage....not attached. Once we get some concrete under there it will be perfect.
I will also have lights and plug-ins so I can have outside party lights or Christmas lights.  That is one things this house lacks.... external electrical boxes.  Not one.  Now I will have two!

Construction

Basically we are getting a new roof
But, while we have everything torn apart we might as well get a few things changed.
Adding a small gable porch to the garage where my grill and a few chairs can sit under a roof instead of on the open patio.  Plus I can put up actual party lights instead of Christmas lights for my new spot.   More photos to come of the finished project.  The roofers were at the house from 8am to 5:15 pm and got the house, garage and new gable done.  It started to pour down rain about a 1/2 hour after they left, so the "new" photos will have to wait until tomorrow...

...and did I mention it was 90 degrees today with a very high humidity?  Yuck.
