The Men’s group had a perfect day to replace the Behning roof. There were the usual unexpected problems that popped up but for the most part it went well. We had a great turn out and we thank everyone who helped.

Getting the old roof stripped went fairly smoothly. We managed to land a good portion of the old shingles in the strategically positioned trailer which meant we had a pretty easy time cleaning up the ground. With the old roof off we were able to determine what sheeting needed to be replaced. It wasn’t long before we were ready to start putting on the new shingles.

While that work was going on another crew was resheeting the flat roof. With that job completed it was time for the job everyone was dreading, putting on the new rubber roof. With the flat roof sporting more wrinkles than a kid just getting out of a day in a pool we broke for lunch.

After lunch a little rethinking meant pulling the rubber roof back off for another try. With the arrival of some expertise things went much better this time and before long the flat roof was finished.

Meanwhile work continued with the shingles and after a long day the job was finally completed. With the rain drops just beginning to fall the last of the peak was nailed down singaling a job well done.

The Men’s group will be meeting this Wednesday at 6:30 P.M. at the Dafforn’s. Could it be that we may discover a new talent in shoeing a horse? Don’t miss it.
