What's Going on at the old Town House - October, November & December 2018?
October 30, 2018 - Day 1: Work begins on re-shingling our Town House roof, starting with the south side. This work is being funded, in part, by a $9,950 NH Conservation License Plate/Moose Plate Grant.
The old shingles that were curling excessively and starting to fail are being removed.
The roof sheathing appears to be in good condition. Just a few more shingles to remove before calling it a day.
Day 2: Once the roof deck has been cleared, the ice and water barrier and asphalt paper are installed.
Now the roof is ready for the new shingles.
Week 2: Delayed by several days of rain, work resumes at the Town House on the small shed addition at the rear of the building. The roof sheathing is in great shape here, too.
The non-functional PVC vent has been removed and the underlayment is in place.
Work progresses on the south roof.
By late Friday afternoon, the south side roof is nearly complete.
Week 3: A surprising start to this week: the sun is out! Work resumes on the rear roofs.
Old shingles are removed from the rear roof of the woodshed as new ones are being installed on the shed addition.
WIth 3 days lost to bitter, artic cold and snow, a lift is rented to help speed up the work.
The south roof is now done except for the ridge cap. More snow is in the forecast.
Weeks 4 & 5: Attention now turns to the north and east roofs.
The old shingles come off along with the snow that fell over the weekend.
Another snowfall! This time, the cold and snow won't stop our crew.
Is that Santa & his elves?
More snow flurries!
The roof sheathing is in good shape on these roofs, too.
With some better weather and no more snow, this side of the roof is nearly finished..
A little warmer weather and the sun have melted the snow off the new north roof, but snow still covers the new woodshed roof.
Week 6: The work now shifts to finishing the rear roofs.
The new rear roof on the woodshed and main hall gable...
Finished re-shingling the small shed addition...
On to the porch roof...
Last few shingles, and...
December 6, 2018 - Work on our Center Harbor Town House roof is finally complete! Just have to clean up the site...and say "Many, many thanks" to our donors and the Conservation License Plate/Moose Plate Program for our new roof!
