Finally - the new roof!

After planning, preparing and hauling here we go!
This is it - on our small trailer - the entire roof!
It must be a mistake!
This is the gutter and the downspouts.
The transition pieces, I think.
Anyway, demolition began Saturday morning.  The not so fun part.  Fortunately, the existing roof was nailed directly to the decking with nothing between, so the nails were loose and easy to remove.
Cory is ready!
Brad is a great instructor with ropes, knots and climbing experience!
Steve (left) is the man on the ground!
Mickey is our foreman.
Steve is on one end of the rope.
Cory is on the other end!
With the ropes and anchors in place, it's time for a break.
We really don't want anyone to get dehydrated.
With the boys removing old roof on top,
Mickey and Steve begin to put down the underlayment (tar paper).
Cory's descent.
End of the day - ready for metal!
