New Roof (again?)


Except this time it's on the bar. After spending a good portion of my economic stimulius check and eight hours working on top of a partially rotted roof (and a week recovering from the subsequent sunburn) the new roof is up... It is still not complete, but the good news is that it does not leak AT ALL anymore! This is rather amazing considering that before it would rain just as hard (if not harder) inside the building than outside.

The roof is not yet complete, I still have to finish tarring and bottom-nailing the shingle rolls. In addition there are a few portions of the sheeting that are fairly well rotten and need to be reinforced from underneath, as well as a couple of beams. But the good news is now that it no longer leaks I can actually get started on getting the building into usable condition!
