New roof for the garage

Sunday and Monday (Labor Day) I spent time ripping off the garage roof. It was nasty, dirty work but thank goodness it is done. We have lived here for fourteen years and I have never done the roof. I'm guessing the roof was at least twenty years old. The was a layer of cedar shingles then asphalt shingles on top. The asphalt shingles were moss covered and rotted. The cedar was dried but seemed to keep the water out. There was a lot of material to remove.


Today I got all the shingles off the one side and laid down three pieces of plywood at the top of the roof. Then the rains came. My neighbor helped me attach a tarp to cover the one side. I then spent about an hour picking up all the shingles that had fallen on the ground.



This was taken on Sunday after about an hour of working. The entire side is bare and ready for plywood.
