Existing roof...
It is time for a new roof on Old Farm now that Bill has completed replacing same period tapered rafters and notching some in to surround the newer central chimney with three flues. This was a three year effort and astonishing as he worked alone to support and leverage 15' heavy; hand hewn pieces of old growth timber. It saved the old sheathing boards we exposed which are very thick and some 2' wide, which I whitewashed. The work included creating a cathedral ceiling over a new staircase which added two bedrooms to the house.
We will add 2 1/2" copper downspouts to wooden gutters ourselves, as exclusively seen in Nantucket and elegant.
