Lovely Roof and Chimney



The roof has several spots that are going to need work.  Much of the work on the house was pretty patchwork and happened over a period of years.  There is an old chimney coming up from the main level of the house that is no longer connected to anything and is so detriorated that the inspector said it could easily just fall over.  We'll be knocking it out (we'll just turn the sledgehammer over to the boys and let them take out some frustrations).
There are several other parts of the roof that have strange humps and bumps, and the gulleys and saddle points in the roof appear to be slathered with tar to help prevent water leakage rather than using any flashing.
