EZ Pass Trivia

EZ Pass Trivia: when you go through toll booths and see a "GO TOLL UNPAID" message, it means that your EZ Pass device is no longer working - probably out of batteries - and needs to be replaced. Toll still gets charged to my account anyway because my license plates are registered.

Patio roof

 On 12/6/2021, I happened to look out our bedroom window and saw these.

 

We have just had a very strong rainstorm recently and that uncovered the problem that we had in the patio roof. The edges, apparently, had been rotting for some time. 

We reached out to our roofer, Flex Construction, and were able to quickly schedule a repair. 

Work included:
- removal of the old shingles
- repair of around 3 ft of plywood on the edge of the roof
- ice shield on the roof
- install 30 year shingles on the roof
- removal of debris 

  


Total cost: $3000 
Also paid extra $100 to clean gutters - Flex flushed out all our gutters.  

*note - We asked Flex to check out our house roof and he found and repaired missing shingles on our roof and also said that our roof is generally still in good shape. We should be able to get another year out of it. (Hopefully, more -- my wishful thinking).
