Oh, the Glare!


Remember a while back I told you about our re-roofing project? Remember that we'd had it painted white even longer ago, but a roofing contractor told us the paint had caused leaks in our roof? And remember how we replaced the painted shingles with light tan ones to help make our house cooler in the summer?

Remember that?

Well, the owner of the house next to us is having lots of renovation work done to prepare for a new tenant, who just happens to be her daughter. And part of the work involved fixing up the roof.

As you can see, they painted it white ... which is fine, but the roofing contractor is the same one who re-shingled our roof. Ironic, isn't it.

The thing about their new roof is that it reflects the sun. Harshly. It's very bright out there during the day. Goodness, the glare. The glare!
