A big stack of them just got dropped off in the driveway. Tomorrow, the roofers will be here to tear the old shingles off the 30-year-old roof and install the new ones.
Based on a previous roofing experience at our old place involving moronic, unpleasant slobs who left behind a couple of defects which had to be fixed, along with debris and abundant stray roofing nails in the yard, driveway and patio, I am not looking forward to the next couple of days.
Wish me luck.
That’s a relief! I thought you had the disease!! 
Me too. Both kinds of shingles are bad. One hurts, the other depletes the wallet.
Last new roof, we kissedthe shingles goodbye forevermore, and got corrugated steel. The winds are brutal here in NE AZ, and shingles don’t last.
The roof does “sing” in the wind.

We were re-roofed 10 years ago. Theoretically, we won’t have to do it again for 20 years. Yeah, right. But I think when we do it again, it’ll be a steel roof.
I love our metal roof. Rain will sing you right to sleep on it.
Tornados play havoc on any roof here in the Alley
The metal roof seems to have held up longer.
And this is the reason that I wish there were a mouseover preview.
My next roof will be a Tesla–I might even break even over the years!
If your house ever had chicken-pox, you should have gotten it the shingles vax.
ETA: BTW: While reading up on these topics a few weeks ago, I learned that chicken-pox is NOT related to smallpox or cow-pox! Did everyone but me know that?
Good luck!
We got a new roof 3-4 years back. Went smoothly, roof looks great, has a 40-year warranty which I don’t expect to outlive!
But we’d had this particular company do other jobs before - installing leaf-proof gutters, sliding doors, and stuff - and they were great. (The gutters have been up for ~10 years, and they’re doing fine. I really really really don’t miss cleaning gutters.)
Anyhow, hope it goes well, and I’m glad to hear you don’t have the other kind of shingles.
This prank earns you the Stinker Award.
