Garage
I started to work on my old doghouse roof (doggone now) and replace the shingles. Well the wasps building a nest on the underside of the doghouse had other ideas. They did not like being disturbed so one wasp bit me so I dropped that idea and moved on to the tool/storage shed. I took a few days to get that done. So I said to my wife that I could do the garage next. The problem with one person working on it at a glacial pace it could take a month. Plus the taking off the old shingles exposes the the plywood to the rain so big tarps would be needed unless I did a small area at a time. I was advised by the last shingle installer that you have to watch the plywood on old buildings(garage is at least 30 years old) that it is easy to fall through rotted roofs so checking on the condition of the plywood is essential before walking on it.

My wife is trying to talk me out of coz it will take me too long to do. A team of roofers (2?) could easily do the the double garage in less than a day. Probably let them do it....G
