Day Five: In Which We Begin the Roof


Thursday. The day of the roof. Joel set out to work with Neri and Calores, while the girls and I sorted nails (not glamorous, but necessary) and cleared the house of large rocks and pieces of cement block. There ended our usefulness on the jobsite, so we headed back to help make dinner and do lots of lunch dishes. The guys, however, attacked the project with a vengence! By lunch they had put all the rafters up and were finished with the spacers. By late afternoon they had sheeting, fascia, tar paper, and flashing. It's incredible the amount that they accomplished! It looks like tomorrow should see the finish of the roofing project.
