I have shingles - and (oddly) I like it!

The garage is now at the "shingled" stage - thanks to John and Margaret Dyck, Bob Goud, Adam Jocelyn and Bob Starky (who were all here for bits and pieces of it) - oh and to Mel Jacobs who loaned me his air nailer.

I used to think that air nailers were sissy - I have helped shingle a lot of roofs and thought the traditional pouch full of roofing nails was the way to go - but I am sold on the air nailer now! We did each side of this roof in less than 2 hours (visiting included) - that is what a good crew can do - I think we are going to turn pro now ("pro" at what I am not exactly sure but....)

For your viewing pleasure - a couple of pictures courtesy of my eldest daughter.... and - yes for all you people like me who would wonder this - the lines are almost perfectly straight! (just so you know!) :)


PS. I am now accepting applications for the "Windows and doors" team and the "Siding crew". Any takers?
