2 car detached. 650sf of roof. Into my second week. Might get it done this afternoon. Typing this because I was on the verge of heat exhaustion by lunch time so I'm drinking lemonade and getting my body temperature down a bit so I have the energy to make lunch. Forget soldiers and cops and supermarket clerks during a pandemic, you know who deserves thanks? People who put roofs on in 80 degree sunny weather.
Actually, I was a little bummed by the weather report for last week. Shingles were delivered Monday morning in a downpour and it was supposed to rain pretty much every day. But it didn't. The occasional drizzle but it stayed mostly dry. But it was cloudy and cool enough to let me work. I didn't realize how important that was until...Saturday or Sunday. And actually Saturday was supposed to rain like a bastard. It didn't. It is supposed to be raining right now. It isn't. I guess I'm not really complaining, but I was kind of hoping it would rain as I was finishing up to knock temperatures down and let me work a bit more before lunch. I've got three 3 tab shingles I could've nailed on before having to nail on about 3' of flashing but the last 5 shingles I nailed on were absolute torture so I wasn't about to break out more when I was so far out of gas up there. It's going to be interesting--right down to the wire on if I bought enough shingles. Well, push comes to shove, they should have them in stock at Lowe's. I can buy 1 last pack if I have to.
Well, feeling almost human enough to whip up some lunch so I'll be going.
