Replacing The Roof


 Four layers of old shingles being removed.



This weekend we had JPA Construction in nearby Hyannis reroof Old Farm. A terrific company to work with as we asked for quick upgrades on framing/parts original to the house and a newer three flued chimney. I found enough (out of stock) GAF HDZ Timberline "Shakewood" color high grade shingles from "Landis" in Hyannis, to best match the house and other buildings. The South facing roof has 2 layers of staggered plywood over 1" old sheathing boards, and the North side only needed one. Lead flashing was replaced around the chimney and 2 1/2" copper drip edges were added to the rakeboards.

Now the exposed old framing and sheathing remains while well secured.




All linens and chairs were removed while furniture and floors were completely tarped with plastic bags sealing the ceiling fixtures. Only cleaned linens were put back.


Our new 4 zone furnace from also terrific Cape Cod Central Heating and Cooling will soon heat this space with cast iron modern Runtal floor radiators.
