Dormers For The Old Girl Part 8

  If you just started following along,  click here for part 7.
  Last post showed the completion of the fascia board.  We have been going steady with very few breaks to get her buttoned up from the elements as the weather is supposed to turn cold and rainy soon.  


 Sheathing is on the roof and drip edge and tar paper is applied to dormer


 As you can see our vent stack is in the wrong place.  We had to move it and patch the hole.  A bit of a delay.  Hubby moved it and I kept shingling.

 Day 2 of shingling threatened rain.  It had sprinkled and made the roof a little slick but an executive decision was made and work continued.  I am glad as that's all that happened, a few sprinkles.  We laid the last shingle at 8:30 PM.   Still have to apply the ridge cap to the main roof and dormers. 


 Hubby came up with the idea of building a protective ladder like thingy.  It saves walking on the shingles and held supplies while we were roofing.  Now it is going to be used to install our fascia and soffit.  Works great.  It braces up against our safety boards

Scaffold is repositioned and dormer number one is wrapped in Tyvek.    We are preparing our corners of the fascia board  in order to install the aluminum fascia and soffit.
That's part 8.  To view part 9 CLICK HERE
