More progress on the roof

Saturday was another workday on the roof at Jimmy and Regina's church.

One group started taking the old shingles off on the east side of the roof,

While another team started putting the new metal sheets on the west side.

The sheets were prepared before being handed up to the folks on the west side...

The first sheet of metal took a while to ensure that it was in place correctly - under the edge strip and straight.

Here's a video of supplying the metal sheet to the folks on the roof: https://youtu.be/AwnQeto0zR0 - it was quite the process with everyone working together! 

Meanwhile folks on the other side were making good progress on removal.

Folks signed the back of one of the metal sheets to signify their participation in the project!

It was great to participate with folks with all different skills and abilities!

This was just after lunch - a lot of the roof on the west side has been covered with the new material.

The roof looks really good!

Progress on the west side (new material) got almost to the valley where the decision was made to stop for the day and to move to the east side to work on repair.

East side

I was up on the roof on the east side pulling staples remaining from the old roof - SO many staples! Nephew Ricky was part of the team working on replacing some bad pieces of plywood.

Finishing for the day - covering the roof with a large tarp.

Ashby is holding down the tarp until the ballast to hold it down could be applied.

Work is progressing!
