One roof down, One to go!

We have one side of the house roofed!  Well, almost roofed!  Nathan thinks he'll have it done by the end of today.  He's running out of space and has had to spend some time shifting materials and tools around.  This is a huge load of his shoulders.  He's been (we've all been) concerned about the timing and the weather, but it looks like we might just beat it!

We're not going to do shingles this year.  Shingles have that tar strip on them that adheres well when it's warm, so Nathan would rather wait until it's warm to get that done.  In the mean time, to protect the plywood underneath we are using a commercial water barrier.  It goes on like tar paper, but has waterproofing qualities and can be out in the elements without getting ripped to shreds.
