We are finally back to working on the house in New Auburn. We were down for a couple hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings and about 8 hours yesterday. Our project this week has been the repair of the roof on the back. It was a problem you couldn’t really see, but there were significant leaks. When Dad got the roofing off and we saw the mess, we we amazed we didn’t have more leaking. They had never actually attached the addition to the house.  It was built about 6 inches away and then the tar paper and shingles just covered the space. Not a good idea. So we had a lot of actual construction to do before the roofing could begin. And we had the hole from the chimney to patch. And the overhang was totally rotted, so we had to remove all that and shorten it up by 6 inches on all layers. Lots of putsy work. But all that is left now is the actual shingling and that shouldn’t take but an evening or two. Then we can start inside again!

We are going to finish it and rent it, rather than sell it. It is going to be so nice when it is finished and I don’t want to miss that part of the whole project by selling it half-done.
