I haven’t done much work on the house lately because it’s been all about the roofing, and I just cannot handle going up that high. Whose dumb idea was it to build a house with such a big & steep roof anyway… oh yeah, nevermind ;-)
A few weeks ago, Brian finished the ocean side of the roof. Which was awesome, but there was still a lot of roofing left to do. Luckily, Brian has turned into a roofing machine and is totally rockin’ the job!
Making good progress on the north side…
99% done! Just need to install the ridge vent.
Now it’s all done and time to take the staging down. I’m kinda proud of myself for climbing to the top of that ladder to help with that :-) OK, so I wasn’t up quite as high up as Brian, but I’m pretty sure that’s the highest I’ve ever gone up a ladder!
Wooohooo!
There’s still some roofing left to do on the bathroom and entry peaks. One side of the entry peak is done, and hopefully the remaining sides of the peaks will be finished soon.
Our next shipment of windows was supposed to arrive yesterday, but they were MIA. Hopefully they’ll show up today, and we’ll install them tomorrow if it isn’t too windy. And later today we’ll put in the skylight where the piece of plywood is. We’ll be weather-tight soon!
You guys amaze me
ReplyDeletewow, that's quite an accomplishment. Not many people actually do the building themselves!
ReplyDeleteMany homeowners will not take on the task of doing their own roofing jobs and immediately seek the help of seasoned roofing installers. When you decide to take on the task yourself you must know it may take a bit longer unless you have a crew of friends available to help but you can save money by installing it yourself.
