Working together

A multi-trade day again... we had the HVAC guys continuing inside...

....while Thom and his guys patched the brick areas and missing sills on the back and South side...

...while Virgilio finished up the skylight flashing and the chimney waterproofing on the roof.

Sangria Street here we come!

A lot of activity at the house again today (HVAC, plumbing, roof, concrete, deliveries...), but the most important part for Karen was the beginning of Sangria street...the concrete (then later, flagstone) front porch that will be a year-long hangout spot! 

Back to the roof

Miguel was working late last night and early this morning to prepare the new roof areas for Virgilio's team.  The front of the house is really taking shape with the addition of the sliding door to Downtown Sangria Street!

Half roof

Virgilio's crew was in today to start the roof.  They had to strip the seemingly centuries-old layers of shingles on half the roof.  They made sure to strategically place all their shingles on the mostly unsupported section of the new cathedral roof, much to Miguel's chagrin (can you read my sarcasm?).  Oh well, it made Dave have a hero moment when he caught a sag in the roof so Miguel was able to scramble over and rebrace it to support the new load.
