BP always blocks my comments if I give out my website in the forum since it goes to my architecture site.

Tear off, fix rotten sheathing (maybe extra cost), install architectural shingles.

Thanks for welcoming us and we look forward to many successful ventures as we move forward.My career has given me a wealth of experience in architecture, design, and construction and I fully intend to use all of that experience and knowledge from recent education (self- taught w/ help of BP) in getting started.

I have a degree in architecture and I'm self employed as a designer / woodworker / millworker / furniture maker. 

Architectural Interior Design student here who would love to get started in REI.

I am looking to purchase more property in the next year and have started researching specific markets/neighborhoods already.I have extensive knowledge around homes and architecture since my dad has been in construction for 20+ years and we are currently remodeling parts of my home.I hope to meet and converse with some new people on this site as well as investors in my area.

Personally, I do worry about shingle color, because depending on the roof pitch and size relative to the rest of the house, it will have 30% to 60% of the visual impact when you first look at it.I have replaced shingles more than once just because I couldn't make the existing color style work with the rest of the house.They look like a dimensional/architectural shingle from the picture (not a cheap 3 tab still used in our area).

While my immediate priority is a day job in the real estate field, my wife and I are nearly done with the architecture plans to build a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on our property and add an immediate cash flow generating rental unit.
