Short Update; More Roofing Supplies

Well not much went on this week because of the super-cold weather. I suppose it's hard to get on a roof when it might be icy! It's been getting into the mid-teens at night, well below freezing and turning dew into frost.
They did drop off more roofing materials Wednesday and installed the windows and set the side door up in the shop.
To get the shingles and tar paper up to the top of the roof they use a truck with a hydraulically lifted conveyer belt and just set the material on the conveyer and it is taken to the top where the guy up top takes the things off and sets them on the roof boards. It only took two guys to do this. But one of them has to be crazy enough to get up on the top.


The bracing used for the framing of the shop was all taken down now that the framing is done so you can really see the size of the ceilings..they are nice and high.
At least it has windows now!




That's probably gonna be all for this week. We were supposed to get our power transformer from the city but they never showed up. And Friday is supposed to be snowing/sleeting and freezing so that's probably a no-go. Maybe they'll work on Saturday when it's supposed to be in the mid 50s.
