After some medical issues and a tough late Winter I’m back on this project.
We’re stripping off small 7″x 9″ slates ,renailing the sheathing,prepping with 30 lb. felt. We’ll lay 10″x16″ slate from the Gwendolyn quarry in Quebec.
Todays work was removing and prepping some of the roof.

Thanks Duane, yes I'm feeling really good now- hopefully the medical issues are behind me.
I really enjoyed the barrel dormer thread- even thogh I didn't chime in. Keep up the great work! Walter
Well, and thank you too.
I was thinking about your hip as I was straddling them dormers with the torch..I felt like I was riding a really fat horse!

Grant,
The man who worked with me for 2 1/2 years prior to leaving last Spring is back to help for awhile.
Seemed really good to work with someone who knew how things were done, and the sequences needed to accomplish them.

Some more pics of work in progress.
2295 shows drying in over the tops since snow and rain is coming
More pictures from work on the front of the main house.
Looking good.
That is quite a bit of staging. Do you have enough to go around a typical house?

We set piers on this job and used 2 24' pics side by side for walkways, then bolted on our stancions to bolt the alum. backrails to.
Actually this job didn't take as much as some others do. We staged up from a porch roof on the ell and part of the rear of the main house, so not as many frames were needed.
I do own a lot of pipe though so we can do quite a large project with what I have.
Our next large job will be staged by a staging co. for both us and the masons.

Nearing completion of the front of the main house.
Waiting for the masons to finish up the chimney we tore down.
Looks good Walter
