Greetings. This is the new view from my back door. I love red, so thankfully, this HUGE ASS dumpster is red. I just wish it weren’t so close to the back door.
Our house needs a new roof. Here is some proof:
There are about 7 layers (hello – can you say ILLEGAL in housing code terms. WHAT were the previous owners thinking? Or maybe the roof is so old, they didn’t have codes back then… Rob actually tore up this edge to take a peak at all the layers.

Holy Ca Ca!
