Shingling in a Snowstorm

What? The title doesn't match the pictures, you say?


But it's true, these pictures were taken on Monday morning, March 24.

Beautiful blue sky.
It being my day off, I didn't feel obligated to stay for the entire process and within an hour, the weather changed!
Yes, there was a snowstorm!
They tell me they were sweeping snow off the roof so the roofer could put down the last of the shingles on the north side. But they got one side done that morning in spite of the snowstorm! Way to go!
Thank you to Jake W. and Marvin F. who volunteered some time and lots of effort to help the crew take off the old shingles.

Why didn't they finish all the way to the front?
Because the new part on the front will wrap around this part of the roof. So the part of the roof that is still light shingles is coming off and will be new roof.



The backfill was also done before the snowstorm.










On Tuesday, they finished shingling the south side.

The afternoon was spent in the new addition, building the stage.

Please pray for these crews as they work and especially for scheduling that takes place each day with work efforts, volunteers and trades. Prayer is especially needed right now for a plumber who will take this job. The guy they had lined up is not able to do it.
