Scaffolding on the west side came down on Christmas Eve, except enough to go up to lay slate on the lowest roof and finish all the copper trim and gutters and downspouts.
The crew is at work every morning when I get there, and at it when I go home.
Some days the temperature approaches 25 degrees. Fahrenheit. Warm by late afternoon, when the sun has worked all day to warm the air from 10 or so degrees in the morning. Fahrenheit.
Oh, and it's snowed on and off the week between December 24th, above and
December 31st, below.
Slates are laid, gutters are hung under the eaves with care.
Around on the east side of the building all the scaffolding is in place.
I believe all the slate is down, but I've just lost track.
I see copper up there, for gutters. Look through the V of the tree.
The crew knocked off around 2 pm today.
I don't expect any of us back at work on Thursday;
the warning is for eleven inches between tonight and Thursday afternoon.
Except all the road crews out there keeping roads open for travelers and especially for emergency workers. Keep them in your thoughts; they're working for us all over this country.
Happy New Year.
Peace.
That is one beeeeyutiful roof!

Hello, Elaine. I have missed your smiling face. Happy new year to you and all your family.
DeleteI do like a slate roof but I understood it was very slippery when wet so this would be a dangerous job.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to all your family.

Happy New Year Joanne. I'm glad we don't get snow here. Except once every five years or so. As a novelty.
ReplyDelete25F is warm???
ReplyDeleteOh Dear God, I'm glad I don't live there. I prefer to be cooler than melting, but that's beyond me. I don't start feeling warm until about 65F.
The building is looking pretty good now it's almost finished.
Happy New Year.
The roof is looking very good.

ReplyDeleteThat building is going to look some classy. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThat snow of yours is going to blow through here also. I would rather you kept it in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family. We're supposed to get snow, too, but they're dialing back the projected amount. Hope the same thing happens in your area, too.
