Progress report for Thursday:
Wasn't raining, but was just generally cold and nasty and gloomy, almost depressing. Tromping about in the mud, everything damp, plus it was foggy until after noon.
Last night, I bought 36 bundles of shingles last night plus the starter row and ridge cap shingles. What a load! Supposedly each bundle is about 70 pounds. I put 10 of them on my small trailer and the rest in the truck. The truck really sat down low... was probably more weight than I should have attempted. But made it home with no problems.
This morning, we put some bundles up on the roof and the rest in the building. Carrying 70 pounds on one's shoulder and putting it up on the roof was not fun. Then we finished closing in the walls with plywood. We shut it down around 2pm due to low morale. :cry:
Left to do on the exterior:
Finish framing the gable ends and plywood them.
Tarpaper on the walls.
Small piece of drip edge (ran out of it before)
Install vent fan in roof.
Do the roofing (ugh).
Buy and install door.
Framework and finish trim for the soffits and eaves.
Determine whether to put in a few windows or not.
Buy brick and hire a brick layer.
Photo as it stands right now:
Need some sun to get the spirits back up so we can get it back into high gear and make some progress.
