It was cold, and with all of the “ups and downs” of working on a ladder, it went pretty slow.
I in the 4 hours of actual work-time, managed get all of the roofing boards in place and started putting the metal on the roof. I took two 30-minute breaks to thaw out my hands.
Of the eight, 3 feet sections I had to attach, I completed 4 and had 1 “Tacked down” – the ends were screwed in place to keep it from blowing off.

Sunday proved to be bitter cold and very windy. After church, I did manage to get up on the roof and screw down the 5th section completely – it took me about 30 minutes. I wore 2 sets of gloves – leather over cloth, and when I came in, my hands were turning from red to blue-ish purple!

Today I won’t be working on the roof, since the high is slated for 19 degrees, with a wind chill of -13. Tomorrow may be raining all day and night – I may get back up there on Thursday –

Once I get off of the roof, the walls should go pretty fast, since I don’t have to climb up and down and move a ladder.

We’ll see…
