Roofington: A retrospective

Sept 1, 2007. My last week in Maryland. Kevin needed a new roof. I was conveniently "not working."


It took us a few days to get the old roof off... Dean, Kevin and Matt helped but the Mazda b2300 was the real hero. Shingles are heavy, and we tossed them right down into the truck.


Man Work


Only a few sheets of plywood needed replacing. Lucky.


New Shingles ready to be laddered up. Again...heavy.


This county dump in Maryland is an ironically pretty place.

It provides a rare vantage.


Tweaked Backs: 2
Bottles of Gatoraid: 6.
Chipotle Burritos: 2
Flat Tires from roofing nails: 2

Im in ur yard...catchin' ur shingals.


Nearly done with the front.

Complete!


Kevin put on the finishing touches. Well done.

I've been promising this post (in all it's glory) for years. Mission accomplished.

It maybe time for the web log to retire. How could anything top this?

Nothing can top it but pictures of the cat. :) No stopping the web log. You entertain us every few months. :)

Oh, and nice man work!

I would like to add that the number of flat tires should be 2* since the back tire got 2 nails in it:)

Thanks for the help Mattie, I definitely couldn't have done it without you.

Oh, your Maryland days. Didn't you get a million mosquito bites that day? Maybe I'm wrong. But if so, that should've been on the tally list.

Nice job, and don't even think if stopping the blog.
