The Rain Stopped & the Roof is Done!

Nov. 19: The weather has broke - it was a beautiful day here to day; cool but very sunny. The roofing crew took advantage and completed the slanted roof, finishing the roofing job. Cool weather definitely is an advantage for this job. After drying the wood with a torch, the roof is covered with a white paper-like material, insulated and sealed with a peel-n-stick rubber type sheeting. Finally, the asphalt sheeting is placed on the layers, and sealed again with a torch. There are drains in strategic places, and from what I saw the earlier this week, they are working fine. Also yesterday, most of the windows have arrived, for installation next week (I am told). We may be weather tight soon!
