Well it was a really crappy day weather wise, but they got the house roof done. They got here at 7 am and finnished at 1:30. They stripped it put water and ice protection and shingled, put new ridge roof vent and capped it. They only did the house. My contractor is doing the garage roof and the tie in to the house. When he gets ready to shingle the garage he will put the three 14" Velux sun tunnels in . One into the house to bring some light in where we removed the window in the dining room and the other two will be in the garage near the back side close to the house.
Here are some pictures from today.
Starting the stripping.



All stripped and water and ice protection going on.



30lb felt paper and shingles going on



Caps and sealing around chimney



And the finnished roof. The parts that aren't done is where he is going to tie in the garage roof.



Its getting exciting now for sure, I can't wait until the roof is all tied in and water tight.

Looks great Wayne.
Man, I give those roofers some mad respect, especially after today's weather. It was WICKED. Cold, raw and very windy.

Thanks guys .... It was as cold as a witches T$& in an igloo today! But I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree either. I was out there all day with them. Passing them stuff so they didn't have to climb all the way down the ladder.

Greg came over today and finnished up the trusses that tie into the house roof. The'll be back tomorrow to put the plywood on so the roofing contractor can come Saturday to finnish tieing the house roof to the garage . They will do the high peak . The rest of the garage will be done by my contractor. They'll be making a closed valley by weaving the shingles together.

Here's a couple pictures from today.They opened up the roof and cut off the rafter tails so the last full size truss could be set against the house.





This is the last of the long trusses tied into the rafters

Default I took my life in my hands for these pictures !

They got the rest of the plywood on the roof today. I also had them put my Velux sun tunnel flashing in so the roofers can finnish the rest of the roofing tomorrow. It was a beautiful day so I took a little flight to get these pictures.

If you notice any shaking its me not the lift. lol





birds eye view








Here's the crew building the garage.




Here's an idea how it looked from up there. This is the highest point in the city.



Those houses are three deckers. I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling looking at that gutter on that house.
