New Year's Day:
Gary celebrated by putting on his climbing boots and
12 point crampons
to shovel the
late December snow
off the Main House roof so the carpenters could get right to work
finishing plywood on the North side the next day.
The otherwise impossibly slippery snow and ice on the
4/12 pitch
of the roof was no challenge with crampons but Pauline insisted on
standing by just in case.
After clearing the roof,
we ran the snow plow along the side of the house to leave a clear work
area.
With the roof cleared of snow,
the carpenters did not need special footwear.
Before mid-day of January 3rd they had finished the North side of the
roof.
Carpenters Adam and Lars worked on joining the Entry roof to the main
roof while Phil and Brian worked on the eave and soffit details of the
southwest roof.
