I said that there was a roof project. It wasn't huge -- 23 feet by 6 and a half -- but we'd never done roof before.




This is me sitting on my ass... it was after we discovered the two-color problem with the shingles. Stupid loading-dock guy.


This is my cousin Sandra who is sturdier than she appears. She made fun of my man-arms but was otherwise a good sport about being on a roof.


This is the roof, after we got done with it. The shingle pattern is not visible except from the third story bedroom window, so I feel okay about it. It's also regular and not horrible-looking. One does what one can. Also, the shingles are mostly straight. Considering that we'd never done shingles before, I was happy with that.

Rock on! You've a right to be proud for sure. Looks good, and hey, you had to go up a ladder, which is not what I consider a grand start to good times, either.

Actually, we crawled through the third-floor window to get to the roof. I'm not a big fan of ladders and it was two stories up. I don't know that I would have been okay about that much ladder, but through-the-window was okay.

Yeah, I can see going out the window being a much more satisfactory solution. I can't even manage the ladder to do our gutters. I can get up there, but I can't wield a trowel or swing a hammer once I am up there. I think I'd be okay if I were on the actual roof, but up the ladder...not so much.

your cousin looks like she is about to hit someone with that hammer.

Yes, the smile should have the caption, "Just a little bit closer..."

Wow! I'm impressed. I'm jealous of all the things you're learning these days.

Sitting on the roof is fun!

Enjoy it while you can still climb out the window! The spouse won't let me sit on the roof all that much. And since I'm afraid of heights I have difficulties with the ladders and all...

Wow. You Escherized the shingles!
