Saturday September 5th. A holiday weekend, and we're planning a new roof! I sure hope the weather is good!
We had to tear off the 2 layers of the old roof. The tractor came in handy for that! Thanks guys for ALL of the help! |
| Slow going, the bottom layer are single tab barn shingles with LOTS of nails! | ![]() |

That's it, we had the deck cleared in 2 hours and 15 minutes. We need to trim the rafter tails for gutters |
| Trimmed off, time to add the sub facia and get the roof sheathing back on. | ![]() |

Done, now to replace a few bad roof boards. |
|
Oops, we had better frame for the skylight.
The ceiling & roof joists are 2x4s, and tend to sag. We'll add a 2x6 to either side of the skylight to firm things up. |

That's it for today. Looks good from the lake, we're out on the pontoon boat with some snacks and adult beverages. |
| September 9th, after another day to finish the roof, we're ready for the caps | ![]() |

Don't forget the roof vent for the bath fan |

After a massive cleanup, we apply our first coat of paint.
