That F-ing weather man. Suppose to be clear all day yesterday. Had to leave early because it started raining. I just got that roof torn off redecked and papered. I was cleaning up the ground when it started raining on me.

Any way this is how I did the roof when it is steep. Ladder and scaffolding. The top I set roof jacks to tear off. To paper I just nailed boards to the roof. So not that bad to do Star.

I turned the scaffold up so snow does not get on it to make it icy.

And if you are wondering it took 7.5 hours to do that work. In that time I tore off the plywood, cedar shakes under it, nailed on new plywood, papered it, and cleaned up the ground. The lower section I had torn off already.

The hardest part was that the roof swopes out at the bottom. The little return you cant see was a pain to get the plywood to bend and cut to match the roof next to it that was also swoped out.

The whole area of what you see is around 2-2.25 square. So not that big.

I hope you have insurance if you fall you’re fucked
I have medical for life. Through the VA.

But I fell one time 21 feet and did a face plant. Didnt break a bone. I did embed a bunch of sand in my skin and tear a few muscles. Took a two hour lunch and went back to work. A little slower but still went back. I cut out early that day cause I was a little sore. Only did 7 square after I fell.

That roof aint that bad. I was trying to show that to you but I guess it didnt work. lol
