Here's the studio with plywood and tarpaper in place (Sept. 6). Next is trim around the roof and then comes the roofing! With Lisa back in school and Tim is trying to get the roof on and windows and doors in place before the snow flies. To the right you see the trim in place and the beginning of the roofing process. Thanks to pump jacks (standing 2x4's with metal moveable supports holding 2x6 staging) and roof jacks, Tim is shingling the roof alone since Lisa has returned to school.
This was taken mid Sept. as the roof shingling begins. The pump jacks are on the vertical 2x4's in the ground and the roof jacks are the brackets on the roof.
Oct. 6, the roof is done! Tim got the cruddy cold Lisa brought home from school, which slowed him down a bit. Now on to the Typar (wind resistant sheathing), electrical, doors and windows, which Tim hopes to finish before winter really sets in.

Roof and trim look great from a distance, too! We've had only one frost and it's October 7th! A lovely warm VT fall. This is taken at 7:30am as I leave for school. The studio will have great morning light. ...Next |
