The
Porch Roof Project |
|
|
By Friday the
last nail was pulled out of the rafters. New nailers are waiting for
Saturday morning. |
|
|
Saturday
morning, October 11. Nate came over to help, bringing a nice ladder
with him.
At this point, the porch is very wobbly. We left the fascia board on
(seen on the far right) to help hold it together. |
|
|
Andrea and I
went out to get some larger nails and new fascia boards. When we got
back Nate had half the nailers up.
The rain drizzled on him the whole time. |
|
|
After working on
a Saturday for six hours, Nate left to go to a beer tasting party.
Can you believe that?? We finished up ourselves. |
|
|
In this picture
you can see some temporary flashing Andrea installed against the
house to protect it from the rain. |

|
Sunday was
beautiful. Nate was back and the cedar shakes started to go on. |
|
|
This rafter had
split right in two. Nate didn't realize it, but he dang near fell
through the roof the day before. |
|

|
|
By the end of
the week it's starting to look like a roof. |
|
|
Oh no, it's
raining and the roof isn't tied into the house. Good thing we didn't
remove the temporary flashing. |
|
|
While working on
the roof I had to convince myself I couldn't fall through the nailers.
It sure did smell good up there with all that cedar! |
