It rained on and off on Monday and Monday evening, but work went on. Besides the window-work, we began to tackle three roofs – a porch at the rear of the residence, the residence’s main roof and a lodge. The porch roof had suffered a puncture from a falling branch. Debbie, JoEllen and Rose Ann went to work on it. They removed a square of the roof so that they could insert a plywood patch and re-shingle the entire area. Things were complicated by there being two layers of existing shingles – running at 90-degrees to one another and a nearby skylight.
On the main roof of the residence there was a large dormer which had been leaking. Part of the problem was a smallish, ineffective cricket intended to deflect rainwater. The work which began on Monday to remedy this, however, led to even more rain water penetrating the roof when the wind blew the plastic cover aside. By Tuesday this was taken care of and further work on the roof proceeded – removing old shingles, adding a new drip edge, etc. Don, Lloyd, Ron, Tom, Roland and Margaret (one of the caretakers of the property) took the lead with this effort.
