The roof for Skipper's Cottage

 

-

Early Saturday morning the roofers (from Freeport) work their magic.

-

Most of the work is done and I get finishing off instruction while the crew has breakfast. Wow, thanks guys!

-

The NW gable end is done, now for the other end.

-

between the rains and the gales, we finally start putting the roof on. The planks are laid out to dry.

The roof is practically covered, and I can take a rest.

-

Notice the design similarities between Skipper's cottage and the engine room?

-

The surface is fairly easy to walk on but I don't let go of the rope for long!

-

All the felt is now on the roof and it is watertight. Most of the shingles are on the front but because of high winds I decide to work on the opening for the sliding doors. Forms are attached and I am mixing the concrete.
