The bedroom is close to being completed. Previous posts described the paint colors and all but this one has the completed floor and furniture located. The room turned out perfect thanks to the furniture from Donna in her efforts to re-do her home in Little Rock. Thanks Donna and the rest of the furniture will be demonstrated in upcoming posts.
Also, the big day has arrived. The new tin roof is being installed as we speak. Larry Rippond and his crew get here every morning at 5:30 AM and start their day. Its been so hot they have to stop a noon but they can really get a lot done in that period of time.
The old house's roof was in pretty bad shape. Donald and Kay determined there would be a new roof and, here it goes. We took a "before" picture just so you could appreciate the decision and the work.
Larry and his crew of Mark Rippond (his son) Cole Rippond (nephew) and Greg plan their attack early Monday morning.
Then the work begins. Roof man is on the top replacing the bad decking and "barge" boards so they can even begin to install the new roof.
After pulling off the old shingles, replacing and rebuilding the decking, etc. finally the first piece of tin goes on. This is the most important part of the process and must be perfectly placed and aligned so the remainder of the roof looks "square" and performs the task of a roof.
After two days they have partially covered the north side of the house with tin. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the great new look sense my camera time is limited and I'm on to other things myself.
Boy will this be a great improvement.
By the way, Donald keeps reminding me that the roof is only done when the house is painted and guess has that job. Pressure washing the old paint off, letting it dry, then painting the whole dern house awaits yours truly and my faithful companion. We're ready to start so, stay tuned.
