Endcaps

Before work on Wednesday I was able to make some covers on each end of the roof. Here's the look...

Crystal Clear!

My windows are clean, no more stickers or silicone goo from the factory. Initially the project today was making wheel covers but it wasn't going well so plans changed. The windows were getting nasty so it was a great alternative, they look really good now!

Flashing

I have the use of a 10 foot brake (thanks Jim) for a couple days so Idodged rain and put some flashing all around the bottom and the porch. I never used one but think I did ok for a rookie. While I have it I'm going to make some covers for the wheels next and tidy up the ends of the roof cap.

Here's the brake...

And here's flashing...

Roof Cap!!!

It's on! Just a little bit of crimping and touch up metal work on the ends and I can officially put the roof behind me! Or should I say above me? I am just so thankful that roofing paper is down!!

 Thanks Jim and Chris!

Facelift

One of the things on the list gets crossed off! Hope it will look good when the roof is finished (fingers crossed tomorrow)

Finished up the Siding

Finally. No more siding. Now I can focus on the electrical and plumbing. Yikes!

Possibly a roof on Friday? If you're new to the blog the roof has been a journey in itself - all prayers are appreciated!

A Setback and Progress

I took a picture of the wrap on the house for what I thought was going to be the last time, unfortunately the cap was not meant to be once again. Let's just say there were problems and there is now a plan in place to make it right. At first I was pretty upset because I thought for sure the roof would finally be done. Then I was grounded when soon after I found out a friend and co-worker passed away unexpectedly. Only in her 20's and full of life. She reminded me there is a time for everything. RIP Jaimie you will be missed and I know the Good Lord accepted you into the Kingdom.

After the roofers left I started putting up more siding to the top. Only have a few more pieces plus under the two windows and that will be it for cement board for Michael Troy. Here it is...

I had some good help today too. I love when Madeline stops by to visit! She's so awesome and was a spark of sunshine with all the bad news of the day...
