Return the Roaster Day 2
Day two brought some help...Wesley joined his dad on the roof today. Too bad it's ISTEP testing or I know a boy who would be staying home from school!! Good news, the dumpster comes tomorrow and the new roof supplies come on Friday morning. Brian said today, "I'm not as young as I used to be." There will not likely be any trips to the gym this week :) The guys did get layer #1 off on one side! Yeah!! They stopped there because they are just making a big pile on the edge of the roof waiting for that dumpster. Plus, as Brian said, "It's like a million degrees up there in the sun."

I'm coming to help! But not until Thursday evening, sorry guys but its the only time I'm free.
I helped Greg tear the roof off our Bluffton house. It is HOT, DIFFICULT, DIRTY, thankless work.
Little roofing tip - - - in case you hadn't thought of it for yourself. Get a large piece of plywood and prop it up against your house like a "shoot" where you are going to dump the shingles down into the dumpster. This will keep the tar on the shingles from leaving nasty smudges on the siding of your house.
Hey - - - I'm getting worried about your roof!!! Do you at least have all the old shingles off and the tar paper on to 'dry it in'???? They say RAIN is coming Monday and Tuesday.
When we reroofed our OTHER Marion house years ago - - - a TERRIBLE thunder storm hit just as they were scraping OFF the last of the old shingles!!! You should have seen them up there in the wind and rain struggling to get the tar paper down!!!
We had water which ran all the way from the roof, through two floors, to the BASEMENT!!!!
Well - - - later it all turned for the "good" when we put in new ceilings which in a few months helped us SELL the house - - - - -
BUT it tweren't any fun!!! We had to use LOTS of roasters - - - - -
