Friday:
Dad offered to start painting while I shingled. God bless that man! But he had to stop and help Allen because those little strips on the back of the shingles would NOT come off in one piece!
Got the door installed and added 1x2's for a board/batten look
Nearly done, just need to frame in the windows, caulk some seams and add quarter-rounds to the corners. But at least got it sealed up before the 2 1/2" of wind-blown rain and storms that came on Sunday, finding only one leak at the horizontal batten boards so I got them caulked.
Oh, and I just found out those little strips on the back of the shingles DO NOT need to be taken off
Dad's gonna $hit when I tell him
More pictures to come as I add a 6' porch roof (at the horizontal batten line), and since I have a well and power nearby, inside will be a countertop with sink for cleaning fish (Crappie) as well as general storage.
All in all everything went well, and best of all was spending priceless time with my dad who will be 76 this year!
