while. There were four layers of shingles on the roof. The weight of the shingles was terminus thank God the house was well built. The plan was to remove the layers of shingles and replace with metal roofing.
Pastor James and some people from his church removed all the old shingles before we got there. Surprisingly the sheeting (1x12 boards) was in good shape only a few holes had to be repaired. We spent most of the first day removing nails and covering the roof with felt paper and ice a
nd water shield.The next day we started installing metal. The metal goes on fast except when you are working on a steep roof 10/12 pitch. Working with ropes slows down the work, and the day was very hot, but by 10:00 that night the roof was gone. The Lord was good and kept up our strength until the roof was completed.
Pastor James and his family are getting excited about moving in to their home, the next phase of the project is to finish the inside of the house. The team has plans to come back in about three weeks.
