Flashing and Roofing

Work on the house is moving along quite well. There is still much to do. We are grateful for every warm and dry day which allows us to get more of the outside work completed. To continue with the proper order of events, installing the flashing around the outside of the house was the next important step.  

We also installed the counter flashing pieces that we are using on top of the porch area which we built to connect the garage to the house.

After the roofing was in place, David installed another layer of flashing along the edges of the house and garage walls.

Below is a picture of our old house that we currently live in. Big difference in the roofing don't you think? We are looking forward to no leaks!

Putting the roof on the garage

Sometimes here when the time is right to buy materials the weather may not be just right. The work must continue in order to get things closed before the high winds and blowing snow make it even more unpleasant. Such was the case when it came time to put the roofing materials on the garage.  This was one of those times when Dee spent quite a bit of her time peeking out the window to make sure everyone was still in their positions and not sledding or falling from high places. We were thankful for a friend helping David not have to move around up there that much by lifting the sheets and screws up to him. Praise the Lord for safety and the roof of the garage completed!
