We're now scheduled to have the roof done on Thursday. They think it'll be a one day job. I hope they're right. Our house isn't very big, but there's a lot of wood they're going to have to tear out and replace. We can't use the driveway while they're working.

Thursday is probably the least convenient day for the work. It's not horrible, but that's the day I work in the school library (the woman who scheduled us said that's an advantage because the work will be noisy). It's also the day the cleaning lady comes. I'll have to apologize to her for the noise.

I'm utterly indifferent as to what color the new roof is, but they insisted that I look at some samples. I think they're (not unreasonably) worried about putting on a roof and having us hate the color. I think it's unlikely that I'll develop much of an opinion. I don't look at our roof. I have no idea what color the current roof is. I don't think Scott has an opinion on the color of the roof either. I've e-mailed him to ask, and I suspect we can wait the decision until after he sees the samples, too.

Dark colors will keep the house warmer, and light colors will keep the house cooler, if you don't care aesthetically.

We're going with a color called 'weathered wood' which is dark gray. The lady at the roofing company suggested it as the most neutral color they had, the one that goes with everything.
