roof-run!

mid-day progress




shingles are removed and the felt too. this is what we found.
a little of the wood is rotten.but the support beams are 2 x 4 and 2 x 5 s, spanning 15 feet in some places. there are old knots in the wood that are as big as 4" or more that have simply popped out over time. there are a lot of broken pieces.  yep, these babies are going to need a little help. it is amazing this roof has lasted for 91 years. we were prepared for all of this and are as okay as we can be with it.  all of the old wood is coming off and we are going to salvage it for cool projects, some, possibly even in the interior.
