The roof work has begun

This week is absolutely crazy busy for me..  A hell of a lot of stuff is going on here and I am not great at multitasking.  I like to work on on one project at a time until completion….

The construction bin was dropped off.   I didnt want to have to go to the dump with all the shingles and wood scraps and the bin is just wonderful!

A couple of more truck loads of dirt were dropped off.  Man, I am having a great time with the dozer!

Every guy needs a dozer in the back yard to play with!

The lights in the kitchen were removed to install light tubes (like sky lights).  What a mess in attic to install as there was a lot of interference stuff up there.  The installation is now prep’d and ready for me to cut a hole in the roof.

The truck load of wood has been dropped off to rebuild my roof for a new look.

Today the back sheds were stripped and prep’d for shingles.

After (getting a bit dark)

Tony and I also built  the scaffolding to build the soffits and a ramp to direct the shingles into the bin

It is crazy that for the whole month of November, we had almost no rain, and extremely pleasant temps (65-75f).  After I decided to this is the time to reshingle the roof, Tuesday we had a good soaking rain, and tonight the first freeze of the year with a high in the 50’s this week.    My timing is about as good as how I anticipate the stock market…..  it sucks.
