My Little Project






I haven't taken any photos for the blog in the last two days because I am back to my roofing project. Working like a dog, because rain is due tomorrow. I had to tear off two layers of old asphalt shingles. Then I found some of the roof sheathing was rotted. I cut the bad wood out, and then discovered that one end of one of the rafters was partially rotted as well. So it started out simple, but took a lot longer that I planned. I am half way done with putting on the new shingles for this section. Looks nice, doesn't it?

  5. Thanks to all for the compliments. I do have to tell you all this - this project was not much fun to do. It is rewarding to look at after it is finished, but doing it was a lot of work! I really only did it to save money. I have done the garage, and the house, and now the back room. I saved a fortune. but this was a workout and a half - I have been working on this for three years! So even if I hired out, you wouldn't want me working on YOUR house, at my rate of speed!
