Today started with another beautiful blue sky and a bare roof, at least in the front. We have the front sheeted and the back has just a little bit of clean up and shingle removal left before we can get it sheeted.
We haven't had the number of workers today like we had yesterday. Since we're not removing shingles it has worked out okay. Our shingles and other roofing supplies showed up before we were expecting them. (When we went to order the shingles we were told that they would not be delivered before Wednesday afternoon and they wouldn't be delivered until they were paid in full.) To our surprise, the shingle delivery truck showed up at 11:00 am and started dropping shingles and supplies up on the partially sheeted roof!
Needless to say, I was a little disappointed that things hadn't worked out quite like I had anticipated. In fact, I hadn't paid for them on purpose, so they wouldn't be delivered just yet. Oh well, I guess we just do the best we can.
With the roof cleared in back we were able to start sheeting the back side of the roof. We did run into some problems as we were trying to figure out how to work around the working swamp cooler. Our idea was to remove the swamp cooler in the morning while it was cool, sheet around it and the replace it before it got too hot. It sounds reasonable especially since we still haven't cleaned out the five layers of shingles it's attached too. However, we haven't made it that far today so we'll figure it out tomorrow.
