New Roof

9/14/16 ink, colored pencils

On my morning sketchabouts in the neighborhood this week, I’ve had my eye on the house a few blocks up the street where a roofing truck is parked. The past couple days workers were getting ready, unloading stuff and moving it around, but I didn’t see much roof action. Today my patience paid off, and two roofers were up there laying shingles.

I had to stand across the street, so my view wasn’t quite as good as it was last year when roofers were working on the house next door. But in a couple weeks I’ll have the best view of all: Our house will be getting a new roof, too.
