Bill Solo

Where there's Bill, there's a way.

Bill has been working with an array of ladders, a bucket of shingles, stapler & plane in pocket, and tool/nail belt to cedar shake as high as possible here alone.



He also installed repair work around a newly replaced skylight above our bed. The fixed Velux FS MO4 skylight is their most popular at 30" X 37" of mostly glass and no exterior wood parts - which eventually wear. We will replace all 6 skylights here when reroofing in 5 yrs. All our skylights are rarely opened in cathedral ceilings, so this is a smart change at half the price with more glass surface & vinyl sides. Best price: $398 at Home Depot.


Bill has additionally shingled the South side of Old Farm's garage while on vacation there. Below is a couple of days work after replacing some trim. Having a table saw on wheels here is great and old shingles were burned in a fire pit.

Bill visits Old Farm once a month for a long weekend of house projects and family or beach visits. This new wall faces the kitchen window. The last photo gives a glimpse of our Sweet Autumn Clematis covering a 100' fence to the right of the garage, and a bed of daffodils bloom below the new siding.
