My husband is an amazing man...thousands of shingles and nails and hundreds of hours later, our roof of wooden shingles is complete because of him.
My husband is a crazy man...the backside of roof began 4th of July weekend 2012 when it was over 100 degrees - temp higher flared higher than the heat. As cooler (and clearer) heads prevailed younger bodies finished up the preparation work and by late the October side one was complete.
My husband is a determined man...As spring approached, I engaged the help of an unknowing colleague to assist in the removal of the old shingles...harder, more strenuous work than he ever imagined, but true to his word he gave us a weekend of his strength and youth and the front side sat ready ..and waiting.
and so, my husband began, again...after work, weekends, through late spring, summer and fall... hoisting, nailing, cutting, down the staging and up again and finally it is done and it is good...
