We Got Shingles

We sorta goofed up, but nothing that can't be remedied. Looking back we should have nailed the shingles onto the dormer before setting it in place. But we didn't have the shingles at the time and we really didn't think that far ahead. So now Royce has to nail the shingles on the dormer with very little space to swing the hammer. See the upper roof is in the way of nailing the shingles on the roof of the dormer.

I sorted through the different sizes of shingles, set them in place and Royce nailed them. We got the bottom layers done together as far up as he could reach without climbing on the very top roof, then I continued the rest, up to the peak.

While I'm working on the top . . .

Royce is on the bottom section of the roof working and hanging on.

We did a very fine job. Who would know that this is the first time we have ever done a wooden shingle roof. Hey, I could put this on my resume: Executive Assistant/Business Owner/Wooden Shingle Installer. Can you say multi-tasker...
