Roofing Update

The project for the year was to re-roof the trailer and addition. To date all the metal sheeting is on except for 2 end pieces and one gable is closed.

 The weather was far from ideal in that it was too darn hot! I melted the soles off my work shoes and blistered a knee. Yes, I was wearing knee pads.

 I just have to finish the soffit trim etc, but it hasn't been delivered yet. Today, i closed in one gable end, but quit because of the heat. It was 32C in the shade with a close to 100% humidity. Not nice!

Another week will see it done. I hope!

The Garden and Project!

This is a view of the garden that you won't see often. Every thing that we planted has come up and is growing well.

 The reason to be on the roof is a re-roofing job due to the previous owner doing a crumby job. The add on was a flat roof that did not drain causing cracking of the shingles, but no water leaks so far.

 I built the rafters in one day and installed them the second. They will be covered with metal and are guaranteed for 40 years, which might be one or two years longer than I need.

The rest of the roof is more straight forward and won't take long to do. Every body is telling me that I am too old to be climbing around on roofs. That is a negative thought which I am ignoring!

What sort of jobs do you have lined up for the summer?
