Jim did some work in the shop this morning and then headed outside. He finished putting in all the fasteners on the fascia board and tweaked a couple other things on the rafters.
Then he made some jigs to hold up the sheathing for the roof...
Putting them into place...
He tried to push the sheathing up like he normally does but on this slope, there just wasn't enough room to get a good place to stand...
So out came the ever-handy Bobcat! Jim brought the piece up to a point where he could then go up on the roof and drag it up...
He got all ready to nail it down and then there was a hole in his air hose. Seems to be the way things are going lately!
Thankfully, he had another part that he was able to fix it...
Putting up the next piece...
For the last piece on this first row, he used the Bobcat again...
Putting it in place...
Fastening it down...
Jim stopped after the first row - he had to clean up and then attend to a couple other things. The all-day rain yesterday, even though it was light, caused a few bumps in the driveway from run off, so Jim used the Bobcat to get that all flattened. Then he cut some grass before calling it a day.
It was a warm day but there was a wonderful breeze - Mom and I sat in the shade and watched Jim. Unfortunately, there was no shade for him, but the breeze sure helped.
