  1. OH MY GOD. I can’t even fathom tackling a nightstand DIY…much less a ROOF! You are my Design Hero!

  2. Hi Brooke, been watching the work at The Little Orchard House for a while and have to say its looking amazing. Love the way you have worked so hard on this project and shared your experience with us.

    All the best.
    Anthony.

  3. Whoa. I get lost on picture 11. Is that what it looked like under all that insulation weirdness? I don’t know how you did it… without going crazy, and at all. Very impressive.

    OMG- Guys you have done a great job. Now it is a clean roof.

  5. Thank you! Crazy stuff, huh?

  6. Dear Armand,
    We, who held you not that long ago it seems, are in awe! What an accomplishment! We’re so proud of you.

    Dear Brooke,
    We know that you have played a crucial role in not only the work, but also the wonderful blog. Thank you!

    Mom, Dad/ Gabe and Mary
