Back on the Roof

With all the wet weather lately it has just been too dangerous for the guys to be putting plywood down on our roof. Yesterday we did see the sun from time to time, also some rain but the guys persevered and we are about ready to start the steel roofing.

Here the crew is working on the section over our covered deck. We will screen this in next year and be able to sit out during bug season.


Same spot different angle.


We will use the boulders in the foreground  to stabilize the hill. Mary has definite ideas about the landscaping around the house and I know when we are done it will look fabulous.


Looking out our living-room window, October 18th. Trees are bare, winter is on its way. Time to leave Dodge.


Progress as seen from the north end parking lot.


Once again the "bobcat" was useful.


Yes, the guys wear their safety harness whenever working on the roof.


Thanks for stopping by. I'll have more pictures once we get the steel on.

  1. It's like someone had a really big sneeze and all the leaves fell off, that was quick! Do you think you will be able to get everything finished in time? I know the weather has been really crummy.

  2. So you may be asking yourself "how do I know if I indeed need to have my roof repaired or replaced, or if I just need to have it cleaned?" Well you could always call a roofing contractor and request an inspection. Most winnipeg roofing contractors offer free inspections and can even assist you with getting your homeowner's insurance to cover most if not all of the cost if it is a result of some kind of hail or storm damage.
