After our normal Friday Target run and a trip to the grocery store, I braved the cold and continued with the roof work. I made good progress today and got the new underlayment (felt) in place. Now if it rains it won’t hurt anything. Tomorrow it will be replacing the shingles and flashing (drip edge) and maybe putting the gutter back up. The gutter may wait till Sunday if I’m not real productive tomorrow.
I had a nice break for lunch. Penny made a big batch of chili for lunch and it was perfect on this chilly day.
This is my first venture into roofing and it really isn’t that complicated. I would never take on reroofing the house. The work may not be complex but it is hard work and running around on a roof is dangerous. I found lots of good and helpful information and advice on the web. I checked that I knew how to do this job before starting .
Tomorrow is Waffle House and then back to the chilly roof work. Tonight it will be a nice soaky bath. I'm a little stiff and sore from going up and down the ladder all afternoon.
