We got quotes in the $1000 dollar range to clean the roof. Fuck that. Research time!!! Two days. Found a formula — will cost me under $100 to do the roof. Am half done.
Fucken’ amazing.
For the decade we have lived here, I thought we had a grey roof. It was light grey at first … and has since become dark grey, almost black in some areas. I just wanted to get it back to light grey.
Boy, was I surprised!! Our roof is ….. LIGHT BROWN!!!!!! Twenty year old roof looks almost brand new.
If people are interested I’ll post pics and the process. Right after I write the painting-kitchen-cabinets article.
Well, Kevin, my 1800 sq ft of mold must have come from somewhere else. Seriously, I doubt I even had one square foot of non-molded shingle. The before/after pics are stunning.
Nick Blow got home early one day. He was surprised to see his home in disarray. The kids looked like losers and his wife, his lovely bride of 17 years had gone to shit, she looked like a cow laying on the divan.
He lost his mind. Is this what goes on everyday while I am away at work? I come home everynight around 11 after working like a dog trying to make enough to support this family and I get no kiss at the door, I find my wife asleep in bed where I leave her every morning. Tonight, I find that you actually get up and that this mess is all your doing.
Why? Why do I go on like this for so little payoff? How can a man endure coming to such a home everyday?
We don’t know, Mister. You live next door.
Of course that is a variation on the old joke about the two farmers. They kept mistaking each other’s horse. They measured them and weighed them and compared the hooves. Finally, they noticed the horses were different colors.

I would like to see how it turned out Stuck. Glad you lived through it. ?
Just pick out a nice color and roller it on.
Painting a shingle roof can cause mold problems. Learned a lot from Family Handyman Magazine. Worth the 12 bucks or so a year.

I’m interested in both the roof and cabinet projects.
Waiting patiently………..
And yes pictures – lots of pictures!
