4-Day Roofing Adventure Done... More Or Less

I capped the peak of the shed's roof this afternoon, leaving only a few nail-heads to tar before calling the job completely finished. It ended up taking 4 days, although we were only doing about 1 - 2 hrs of effort each day, in an attempt to keep either of us from being completely wrecked by the uncharacteristic physical exertion (it's a lot of kneeling and crouching up on a slanted roof, which tends to put a lot of pressure on muscles that don't get used in that way most days!)

The final total came in around $170, after I bought a 6th bundle of shingles (and used all but one of them).

Tomorrow, I get back to my real "day job:" writing that second book!
