    Thank you Brother! :handshake: That'll be down the line a little bit. I'm anticipating about a $3000.00 bill on this, but it'll pay for itself in electric bills, Easy!

    DSCN4512.JPG I gotta stop for lunch. I believe I'm done for the day, it's sealed in as best I can do for now. Rain won't hurt it and were supposed to get T-storms tomorrow so I'm not going any farther with the roof today, I need about a 2 days nice stretch for that. If the siding was up, you'd never know anything was damaged, It's real solid now!!! :banana: But I'm falling apart! :pain: Motrin, lunch and a Beer, :beerbbq::drunk: In that order... Today is the 1 week I started this adventure! o_O

    You made great progress for a week, working solo can drag a project out for me!

    Ok boys and girls, I'm a hurting mess, :pain: but here's the progress! I thought I'd get the roof sheathing on, NOT HAPPENING! Even though I have the scissors lift, I'm hurting just going in and out of it. Not to mention I had to climb out of the lift to remove the shingles and old sheathing. Man what it would be like to be 29 again instead of 59. :picard: Enjoy.
    Oh, while doing all this, I got my second load of Oak from my buddy, I'll post in the wood pile.

    Wish I was closer, I am not worth much but with the lift and a couple decent knees we may have a shot at getting this finished.

    Well, it's 0600, time to start another day! I'm gonna snap a pic at the top of the lift about 30' up, you'll get a view of how close home's/our neighborhoods are here, and mine is fairly Liberal for space. Most of all the shore towns are tight and some are worse.

    Well, I just came in. I'm a hurting puppy but my buddy and I got the roof done! I took some high up pics so some of you can see just how (CLOSE) we are here in the neighborhood. I am 20ft from my next door neighbor. Here's some pics,
    Enjoy... You understand now why I want to live in No-where land, New Hampshire!
