Today the weather was glorious .. cold, cloudy - but finally no rain. Hey, they way things have been recently, you take what you can get.
As promised, the carpenters came today to start putting the roof back. The key task was to get the hip to gable conversion started. Impressive how much the guys were able to accomplish in one day as you can see in the photos below.
The centre beam and roof joists seemed to go up in no time at all.
Not a job for those who are afraid of heights. The guys had a proper workshop setup at the top of the scaffolding.
Stacy from MTL was inquiring re the chimney as they would have knocked it out to get a smoother roofline. Since we have a log burner in semi-frequent use (especially recently) this needed to stay. Ashleigh also reminded me that we couldn't take it out or Santa would have no place to go next year - a very important point.
All neatly buttoned up at the end of the day.
So weather permitting .. they should be back at it tomorrow working on the dormer. If things go well, and weather permitting, we may have a roof back by the end of the week.
