The roof, the roof!

 

Check out the water beading up on that sucker.


This past week we got roofing/decking material applied to our new roof/balcony. A banner day here at the Hammershack, where falling rain is a soothing sound once again!

We could not wait for City Light’s mysteriously cumbersome process of moving our power line to complete, so there is about a 2.5″ hole where the existing power line still drops through. It’s well protected, or as well protected as it can be.

The new meter awaits its line.

Just a couple more things to do before we are weatherproof– a parge coat needs to go on the west lower wall before that last downstairs window can go in, and just a wee bit more Tyvek (we’ve been picking up scraps from friends to avoid buying another big roll) and then the closet window upstairs. 

A table protects the last bit of exposed sheathing from today’s rain.

Once we are weatherproof, Morgan will go back to earning money for a few months and we will hang in limbo. We don’t have heat or insulation, so the prediction of a mild winter is welcome. We at least will have a container around us that stops the wind, which is way better than we had last year! 

Now, where did I stash those electric blankets…?
