Kind of hard to tell from this picture, but this is the grading that Jim started working on last night - extending the upper driveway back closer to where the house is going to be.  We need to know where the driveway is going to go because soon we are going to have to run permanent electric and water lines in this area.

Jim continues to work on organization - he has brought 4 cabinets up so far from downstairs.

Then it was back up on the roof...

Getting close...

Just about done!

Jim had to design and figure out how to make some custom flashing to go up and over the peak of the roof.  He made this out of aluminum first to see how it would fit.

Shingles are all finished and Jim tried on the flashing - perfect fit first time!

Then he transferred the design and made it out of copper...

Installing the flashing on the peak...

Finishing up the last shingles!

A big thumbs up that this section is now DONE!

Of course, now there are 8 roof jacks to take off!

Poor Jim went up and down the roof so many times today!

Taking off the last roof jack...

End-of-the-day...these sections are all done and roof jacks off!  Giant accomplishment!

 

We are still loving our steps too...while Jim was making flashing, I walked up into the apartment and started peeling plastic and stickers off all our windows.  Just being able to walk up without a ladder feels huge!
