Tearing off the shingles is probably the worst part of doing the roof. It's dirty, hard work.
However, it was easier on this roof because the shingles were so old and rotten.

| Don did some work to smooth out a lump in our roof | Doin' what I do best... dumpster diving | |

| Looking down into the attic | Folding the paper was important so we would have more room in the dumpster | |

| Throwing paper into the dumpster | We got a dumpster that was smaller than we needed so rubbish compression became important | |
|
|
|
| Parking was getting to be a bit of a problem | To make up for the small dumpster we extended the sides on the Ranger and filled it with shingles to haul to the dump | |

| RAIN!!!?... | ...in June? This never happens. | |
|
|
|
| Frantic arrangements to keep the water out. | It rained about a half inch. We got off easy though with only light leakage into the house. Thank you Don... Your paranoid preparations inspite of all my reassurances that it doesn't ever rain in June really paid off. | |
