In this video, Alex chronicles the replacement of our 113-year-old Delta slate roof using GAF Slateline Shingles, a specialty asphalt shingle made to have a similar appearance to slate. Spoiler: we love how it turned out! Follow the week long project day by day, and you might even catch a little bonus content somewhere :)

About Us: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our mid 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
Something that differentiates us from other channels is our transparency on the cost of our projects - there is usually a breakdown right in the description!
We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook @masondixonacres!
