Dad's Roof Job

Aunt Maryann asked Dad mid-summer if he would be interested in replacing her cabin roof. She purchased the materials and Dad got started. The whole week and a half he did it was the best couple of weeks we have had in a while...in the 60s!! He had his friend Bill Blackford help him, which made it go a lot quicker. The day after they got it done, we ended up with 9 inches of snow and a VERY SORE Dad.

Ripping off all of the shingles...ugh.



Bill was on the ground, (cutting, measuring etc.) and handing stuff up to Dad.


Can you say "beautiful"?!




Thank goodness we got a shingle remover for this job! :)



Preston and Fiona liked to play outside by the cabin while Dad was on the roof...and jump off of the deck. :)


Applying Titanium paper.


The last pretty day for a while.



Frost.




Wheat & Sun. Don't know why I don't like those two features together. :)


Wheat and Electric Peak. 


The Burke's came over to our house and we all had our electronic devices...Libby had her iPhone, I had my tablet, Preston had his iPod and Bennett had his iPad! What have we become?!  One big e-family! :)



Fiona.


Finished!
