Roof update #1

The crew showed up on Monday to deliver materials and get stuff set up. Yesterday they arrived and got right to work. In no time, half the roof was off:

We also decided to have all the old bead board, that is covered with that awful paint with sand in it, taken off and replaced. It added quite a bit to the cost, but it will be so much nicer.

Luckily we have a good, solid week of sunshine in Seattle this week, so weather won’t slow this project down. It’s a bit strange having other people here working on the house, but I can’t imagine how long it would have taken us to complete this project. Some things are just better left to those who get paid for this kind of work! Here’s a view from the back yard:

It will be fun to see what they get done today!
