And off goes the old roof. Installation of the structural insulated panels (SIPs) gets underway shortly. The first photo is looking toward the southeast from the new E. All Saints St. parking garage. A portion of the old roof is being lifted off of the building. The new Board of Education office building is seen beyond the Visitor Center site. The second photo is looking toward the northwest from East Street, facing the future front entrance of the Visitor Center. The heavy timber roof trusses remain, and the SIP panels will span them. The foundation for the entrance vestibule is also visible. The area in the foreground will be a pedestrian plaza leading from a motorcoach pull-off along S. East St.
It's about time those roofs are ripped off. They're old and rusty, and most of all, they're highly combustible. Oh, I can't wait to see how the new building turns out.

Replacing the old roof is always exciting for me. Changing the roof can give the entire house a new look. But the durability and life expectancy of the roof should be considered in the process as well. Knowing that you have a well-secured roof can bring peace of mind. Keep safe, John!

Those rusty roofs definitely need to be replaced. I can't imagine staying in a place with a roof like that. I wonder what roof they installed. I hope to see how it looks like now!
