Lot 3, Day 1

Well after a nice drive down to the Lake from South Wales we made good progress on the task at hand. We arrived about 1pm and we were welcomed by Cousin Jean who was cleaning out Lot 2 after the Labor Day festivities.

The supplies were waiting for us from Lowe’s and they all looked correct. About 1 minute after I spoke to RJ on the phone, the dumpster arrived.

We started about working about 3pm. I built a slide for the dumpster out of the ¾” plywood that was in the shed, and Paula got started on the tear off right away. The tear off went very quickly since it is single layer roof and the shingles are still pliable. Also they are factory installed and so all but the top two or three rows are stapled on instead of nailed. This made for easy and quick work. They would come off in chunks.

The other notable finding is the tarpaper that was originally installed. Or should I say ‘lack of tar’ tar paper. It is a coated paper with some fibers in it, but is not a common tar paper.



So here is the 3pm shot.



And then the 7:44 pm shot. That was the time that we called it quits for the day.

And here is the remainder of the day’s photos.

And lastly, here are the tomatoes that Paula was able to pick from the plants on the backside of the house.



Until tomorrow.
