The rain on Monday put a Damper on roof work, It allowed the Contractor to buy supplies, put up some staging, strip then rapidly paper what they had stripped, before they had to call it a day. Shortly afterwards it would become a downpour.
The next day was still not perfect, and by 3pm they were starting to put paper down on the east side of the house. the "North Wing" was done on the western or front of the house.
The Contractors were approached the first day by my Grounds-keeper about having a job for him, they told him they were all set.
The second morning, after finding the house had not two but three layers of shingles on it, had them approach the Grounds-keeper and tell him that if they were interested, they could come back on Thursday or Friday, and get paid to move all the debris to the dumpster.
The contractors made note that they were amazed at the condition of the roof planks, usually, they said after 50 years of so they find a lot of rotted ones, especially around the peaks and joists. These they said, were amazingly solid.
Looks like the locals will be earning their money.
