I continue to chug away at my house renovation and now all of my new windows and doors are in. Earlier this fall I had some friends over and we tore off the South facing metal roof, along with the old asphalt shingles and tar paper that was under it. We nailed all the old roof boards in place again and pulled a ton of old nails. We then installed a new layer of 1/2" Zip panels on top of the the old boards and taped all the seams. My dad and I did the drip edge work and all new edge trim as well as installing many rows of Ice and water barrier. We started shingling and currently have about 1/4 of the South facing roof shingled....this is the portion of the roof that has several compounding roof angles and is the trickiest/fussiest portion of the roof to get done. This weekend we hope to get the remaining portion done.
I bought a new Kubota 26hp tractor at the end of the summer and it should be going back to the dealer this week to get a backhoe installed on it. Hoping to have it back in time to do some last minute site work before the ground thoroughly freezes or we get too snowed in to make ground work feasible without creating a mud bog.
Lastly I just got back from a trip to Colorado where I picked up a 1984 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. The truck made it all of the way home without any major issues. I had to replace some heater hoses but found the leaks before they blew out and was able to fix them at a parts store (best place to work is a part store parking lot....if you need something its all right there.)
