No flashing up at that complexity. All shingle.

Ridge vent is ridge vent stuff.

Other side is 1/3 to 1/2 stripped. Will be a challenge to finish before Sunday rain. I think the soft wood is due to attic humidity. One area now exposed seems to just be somewhat delaminated. No rot, no leak.

so much dry rot on the original house structure. I think all of that is going to get redecked. Hope the rafters are still solid.

still need to strip the roofing off the 4/12. Looking at it, I'm expecting a lot of either rotten or unglued ply, and maybe some soft rafters. hopefully they're just sagging for fun and I don't need to rebuild anything extra....

Just need to resheet pretty much all of it, ventilate and insulate it, and lay roofing!

This isn't the same section we did in 2011, is it?

decent overnight too. good since it's getting left as it landed.

learned that the 50" bar draws a decent amount. Batteries were sitting at 8-9 volts by the dash gauge after about 5 hours. I didn't do the math but I know that's bad...

almost fully sheeted. Have to make 2 more stack holes and trim some corner pieces, and make sure I don't forget to find wherever I buried the bathroom vent before it gets a bit late for that.

I think I can get it done tomorrow. If not, damn close - ridge shingling takes way more time than I remembered.

Good times!

That went poorly.

Placed buckets under leaks from 3-3:30 and then laid all my rolled product in the rain until about 5:00

Then I turned off all my alarms and said I was sleeping until I wake up. Probably a bad plan with thunder forecast 3 hours from now bit I didn’t really care at the time.

I guess I’ll go see if it’s dry enough to do anything with

rain in that quantity wasn’t expected. Big blue tarp on the ground catching debris.

Oops

my ignorance, but how does metal roof cost compare to shingles?
