Blue Roof


Here is a picture of our "Blue Roof". Special thanks to Carlos and his crew for coming out on short notice to put it up.

Every time we have a major storm, we hear how the flooding comes farther inland each time. Barrier islands are disapearing. Officials have known about the problems since about 1950. 58 years and pretty much nothing has been done about it. Why? Corrupt local and state governments and federal indifference? It doesn't make sense to let south Louisiana wither away. We have abundant oil and seafood resources here. It just makes no sense to me.

I hope the blue roof protected the rest of your house and not just your roof. We have had some pretty outrageous weather, so it will be really good to be able to protect and reinforce our roofs against it.

That’s a sad thing to hear. I hope that blue roof is strong enough to keep you guys safe. If storms and hurricanes always pass by your location, it’s best to invest in a good and reliable roof. Good luck!

The blue roof looks amazing and it really does stand out! I hope you had it reinforced in case a storm passes by. We had a terrible experience involving our roof once. It was when a strong storm hit and we were caught off guard. We thought that our roof was sturdy enough to withstand its battering winds, but to our surprise, it completely torn off our house. Since then, we made sure to reinforce it, so that we’re prepared if ever we face the same dilemma.

Thank you all for your comments and concerns. I have been an inconsistent blogger over the years, and was not aware of any of your comments. All is well now. We were able to get our roof fixed, although it took about a year. Hoping we can get through this new hurricane season safely.
