Day 17 Roof - Finished!!!

Ken and Fred spent the whole day finishing my roof. This is the finished product!
From this angle it doesn't look like there's that much more to do but on the other side, where Ken's working, there are five roof vents to work around and on this side two skylights.
This is the part they had finished before. It's a lot of work doing the valleys and around these additional five vents, antenna and other protrusions.
Of course they also had to do around the chimney.




Fred has been amazing helping me so much when he has his own house to work on.
Aubrey and I went to help Jenn since Fred was working here. This is the nice, finished roof I came home to.
We actually have the two segments over the bay windows upstairs to do. I think Jon will get time to finish that next week. I'm very happy with the way it looks and structurally it is a quality job!

Day 15 & 16 Roof

Ken worked yesterday and again today. It is a big roof and lots of work, particularly because it was in such bad shape, they removed a swamp cooler, etc.

Day 8 & Day 9 Roof

Finishing the main house today(Tuesday)! Ken was here bright and early. Update: Ditto (Wednesday). Looking for a crew to strip shingles and my old swamp cooler from the upstairs roof so I can get rid of the dumpster soon. Ken needs a break for a few days while we do that. I have a couple appointments on Friday (hair and new crown on my tooth) but otherwise I'll try to get up there. Saturday too. All are welcome !!!

Day 5 Roof





Handy hand work



On to the backside of the house - Fred, Steve and Ken




Fred and Ken make a good team
Noah learning from Grandpa


Steve's first roofing job - he's developing some good skills.
Thanks to my neighbor, Alan, for the use of his roofing gun.
I actually got up on the roof for a while. I'm minimally useful and did best with running to Lowe's for more supplies.
My granddaughter, Olivia made a point of catching me on the ladder to prove I really did it!

I am so blessed!

This is a heartwarming and humbling experience - seeing family working together on my roof! Jon said it was a good experience for them too.
