All: Meet me in the Tavern for free drinks till you are under the table! (I haven’t made that invitation since 3 Dec, 1960, when Uncle Sam’s Army promoted me to First Lieutenant a Camp Hanford, Washington.)
At 1520, CDT today, let the record reflect that the last nail was driven in the last shingle to be laid.
This job started in Jan when I posted here asking how to do a major roof repair. It strung on till today. Turned out to be far from simple, requiring nearly 5 squares of shingles & replacement of 12 sheets of sheathing. The saga will continue next yr, when some of the roof will be stripped to the rafters & replaced. Overall it is that bad.
I am not foolish enough to try that. A contractor will be called on for that project. But at least we know the structure is sound.
Will atach some photos later. Best one is of a repair to a hole punched through the roof about 5 yrs ago. Patched w/ a MS license plate, complete w/ yr tag of 2002!
I want to recognize & say thanks to all who helped me – I know I will leave someone out – but the partial list is: Hazlett, Catfish, John7g, Sphere, Slateman, Piffin (Didn’t use a single drywall nail in it), Dinosaur, the entertainer in Canada.
Couldn’t have done it w/o you. Thanks.
And my19 yr old grandson, Shawn. Had three other teenagers working w/ me & they couldn’t keep up w/me – & I’m 72 yrs old. Shawn could & did for two straight weeks w/o a day off. over 12 hrs per day. One tough kid. He’ll do well in this world- he knows how to work hard.

That would certainly put a 'shine' on it.
