I finally made it home 2 and a half days late and Kerry and I were able to start our roof project. The roof that was on the small apartment addition to the back of the house was only a 1 and a half pitch and it was leaking. We needed to tear off the roof and build a new one.
We are going to be able to reuse the ceiling joists. This is a picture of one side after we pulled off all the roofing material and the rafters.
I used a metal cutting blade to cut the aluminum siding along the line of the new roof. You can see where the old roof line ran about a foot off the ceiling. The line is from the old flashing. The opening used to be the back door to the second floor apartment. I tried to get the pitch of the roof as high as I could without going into the window which is going to be in Kerry's bathroom.
This is how we left it for the night. I sure hope it doesn't rain. It is always fun to have a house open to the weather.
