Rain...

Worked on the roof most of the day, at least after it heated up. Hopeless to be up while the morning dew is still present.
debated a long time how to do the "valley", and after having gotten too many inputs from too many people (sounds familiar), we decided on a compromise (which turned out to be a mistake). This Polyglass stuff though is good. With a little bit of heat, it melt (or floats) together to form a tights seal between rolls. And, it is guaranteed to be able to handle 90 days in Miami sun and rain, so it should last a long time in the Washington winter shade.

Very late Tuesday evening we got a few sprinkles. Of course we're not 100% done with the roof, but an "emergency patch" should be keeping the fort until tomorrow when we are supposed to at least get some dry (and potentially sunny) weather. Thursday looks decent, but after that fall/winter is arriving to the Puget Sound region, making any outside remodel work wait until we get into april/May. Will we be able to wrap it up? Really have no choice...

Apart from that, after me adding a layer of insulation to the front, the guys finished sheathing it and the house now actually looks finished, not counting siding. Left for them now is some shear wall work inside and adding another beam for reinforcement inside a kitchen wall. Add to that a little digging around the foundation for drainage, they are getting pretty close to wrap up this project.
