Hello faithfull listeners it's been a while.  Lots going on as the seasons turn.  Been on a steady work clip.  Rebuilt a roof which was a big project.  Working on my house too to get ready for winter.  

This hundred year old house needed a section of  it's rafters replaced.  We did the whole rest of the roof while we were at it.  We built a support wall to hold up the other side of the roof while we removed the damaged section, and built the new section to meet the existing.  We also had to contend with the exterior wall that had pitched away from the house 4 inches.  With the weight of the roof off we were able to pull the wall in with a winches.  The wall still had some curve to it so we custom fit each rafter- 20 foot 2x8 's.


No turning back- Joe starts it off
