I spent some of Saturday and Sunday slaving on the garage. It is now ready for shingles. I'll do a little each night this week then I can start the other side.
These pictures show all the plywood is up. Unfortunately I didn't get much further today. It is really slow going working alone. A lot of the work requires me to make jigs to hold boards or hold myself up on the roof. Everything weighs a ton, including my ladder, which is why my shoulders are screaming in pain.
Here is the finish to the weekend. I installed two rows of planks with roof brackets. The fascia board is up most of the way to the peak and on this side of the roof. I chose to use PVC board instead of the much cheaper primed pine. With the PVC board I won't have to paint it, ever. I would just leave it white. The primed pine would require me to paint it from time to time. On top of fascia is the new drip edge and rake board. All this work and the place still looks like a crack den! If you saw some dude crouched down under that half covered window shootin a needle in his arm, it wouldn't be that shocking.
While it was getting dark, Jackson helped (was forced by his father) to help pick up the junk. It actually looks much better. A crack den with nice soil. Can't wait to bang up the siding! We are siding this thing with the same blue siding we did on our house. It will also have white trim and the corners will also be white (using a siding material for the corners)
