Must be patient my friend! Door isnt installed yet. Fitted it last weekend, just needs hinges and accessories. Ive used some other milled wood there and will post pics soon. I forgot to take pics last weekend.
Roofing nails id pull as i went. The wood shingle nails a row at a time, then a row of cedar, pull nails, repeat. The cedar came off a lot cleaner and in bigger pieces. Lots of times id remove all the asphalt first, pull nails then remove the wood. I worked alone 95% of the time and just a method that evolved over the years. One of my four layer tears i did completely by myself. Pulled off the roof, installed new plywood, shingled and cleaned it all up. House had a round turret too. Didnt plywood that. Shingled over the old cedar. This was 2006 when i was a lot younger. Doubt id do that these days. As bizarre as it sounds i miss it. I loved my trade and still consider myself a roofer even though most of my work is carpentry related these days.
Flora. She was just absolutely fascinated by the door once i got it on the hinges. She'll be two on Oct 30th. Ms. buZZsaw's oldest daughter Amanda Ms. buZZsaw, Flora and "Oakie" (I didnt name the dog)
