Jim cut and installed more treads on the lower stairs - we are now officially out of wood and will have to make a trip to the lumberyard.  We are getting really close to walking up the stairs to the apartment!

 

Then Jim turned his attention back to the roof.  On the front rake board, he's going to put another layer of wood to make the rake stand out a little more - so he had to make bigger drip edge guides to make sure that the drip edge will be in the right location.

 

Then he put up the first piece of drip edge on the front and got busy putting up shingles!  It took awhile to get the first shingles up since it starts at a point.

 



 

Time to put up roof jacks!

Making good progress...

Scampering up to the top so he can figure out the measurement for the next piece of drip edge.

End-of-the-day - quite a lot accomplished today!

Jim had used up all his drip edge so he had to make the next piece...

Hemming the edges by hand...

 

Once Jim got the drip edge made, he switched gears and cut some grass.  Things are just starting to grow - our hardwood trees are mostly still in buds with a few starting to leaf.  Won't be long!
