Shingles anyone?

The weather forcast showed rain for 10 days straight, so i figured it would be prudent to get the roof shingled. Let's see - the last time i actively shingled a roof was when i lived in Auburn, WA and i helped with re-shingling the church roof. I think i was 14 at the time (i might have the age off), but the idea remains that this is not something i do every day. Thankfully i assisted Bruce with putting a roof on Caiden's play structure a few weeks ago, so i had a pretty fresh idea of what was supposed to happen.



In hind sight, i wish i had put the siding on first. I got up on the roof and the whole thing wobbled and creaked. It was like being on a boat, but without the salmon biting -- hmm, that's a mental picture that brings back painful memories.



Thankfully the weather held out - it rained a little bit at the start of festivities, but tapered off and was really nice the rest of the day.



And at the end of the day, the roof was shingled - and with a little sunlight left, it was on to the siding (which i'll cover in the next post).
