Work continues on the roof. Stripping the metal, then the two layers of shingles. Once the shingles were off we realized there were many places there the roof boards had to be replaced. I am so glad Joe wanted to strip the old layers of the roof off or we might not have seen all the places that really needed to be replaced. We had had help getting the shingles off as it was just too much work for us to get done. We had finally gotten the roof stripped when rain that was supposed to go north of us was heading our way. We hurried to Home Depot and bought a 20' by 100' roll of heavy plastic. Joe and I were on the roof until 2:40 in the morning rolling out sheets of heavy plastic and stapling them down. Thank goodness the rain didn't start until about 3 AM.
The next day our worker, Wayne, came to help Joe hang the 16 foot sections of facia trim. Today we had to go to Bentonville , so Wayne finished replacing any bad wood on the backside of the roof. He also cut out any bad wood on the front side. They will be able to replace the sections in the morning and then finish the facia trim on the front. I can't believe how different the house looks with the new white facia all across the back side of the entire house.
The roof should be fixed and the roof liner put down this week. I am so thrilled that the new hunter green roof goes on soon!!!
All the hard work and frustrations are so worth it to get to have a new house on our beautiful property! Yeah!
