11.28.2016 - Front auto bay roof done!

Jim had an appointment to get the results of his ultrasound of his kidneys this morning.  Thankfully, all was good - no more swelling in the tube.  He still has stones in his right kidney but hopefully those won't give him any issues.  The doctor said he could have surgery to get rid of them but Jim politely declined!  Glad to close that chapter with a good ending!

We were anxious to get to the property and see how the auto bay roof looked!  Here Jim is putting on the last shingle...

 

Then he moved on to finishing the hip shingles...

It was a bit of a stretch to reach some of these shingles - he eventually put up another roof jack to finish.

The last piece had some pretty crazy cuts but Jim was able to use the shear to make easy work of it.

Last piece - well, there may be one more but Jim will put that on when he does the ridge shingles.

Looks amazing!!

Always a little scary to take roof jacks down because then there's no second chances, but very exciting to see them come off the roof.

Dismantling the bridge and scaffolding tower...

Last roof jack coming off!

Wow - the entire front of the west wall and auto bay roof is now complete!  Jim is leaving the small tower of scaffolding in place to help with fascia and soffit work on the auto bay.

Jim is using the scaffolding from front to build up a tower to work on the back side of the auto bay roof.

Dismantling all of the wooden blocks that held the scaffolding in place.  You can see that there is still ice build up on the toe boards from our weird groppel storm yesterday!

 

Jim got these boards all removed - we'll be ready to work on this area as weather allows!
