The Roof (second weekend)

CMV was able to locate a company that can bring a 6 yard dumpster to the cottage. They are located in the lakes area, and have small trucks that drop-off and pick-up the dumpsters. No more bagging. The total charge for the dumpster is $230.00, so when you add the landfill charges and the gas to get there, we are probably saving money.





We drove up to the cottage (CMV, AMV & JMV) Friday night. We wanted to be there to get an early start on Saturday morning. Those of you who know me know that I am definitely a morning person, so you can understand that I was really motivated to get up on the roof first thing. I am not sure of the time when we actually got started, and CMV has not started editing my posts, so it was early.

The weather was not very cooperative this weekend. We had two different rain delays on Saturday and another two on Sunday.

We continued by removing the shingles from the front gable down to the valley. We then cleared the first four feet above the gutters, so I could replace some additional boards on the roof.




With the shingles cleared, we had enough room to prepare the valley for new shingles. We decided to lay down an ice and water shield in the valley and the attach some aluminum flashing. We applied the felt paper to the gable, and will do the same to the adjoining roof next week when all of the shingles are removed.
