Rural everyday life, Roofing

In one of my past homesteading posts, I mentioned that I started this construction season with the roof installation. Flexible shingles we bought last fall, but really did not have time to do anything because of the cold and our inexperience.

With the advent of spring, work with the roof continued, although this time I had to make some changes to the editing process.

Last year the shingles was mounted by my wife, as more diligent and meticulous roofer, but now she is pregnant, so now I must do it by myself. In addition, if last year, I just up the shingles to the roof by stairs, now I needed to apply some ingenuity.

First of all, I installed this engineering structure. It is designed to be able to walk freely along the roof and do not descend to the ground every time to rearrange the stairs.

The second "high-tech invention" was a "unique mechanism" designed to lift the shingles.

These devices greatly simplified and accelerated the installation process. In about 2 weeks we have done at times more than in the whole autumn of last year.

100 square meters passed almost imperceptibly, although during the work I, as usual, doubted that we would ever finish this roof. However, my fears were partly justified.

The material was enough for exactly 2 ramps. The number of tiles was calculated in the calculator on the manufacturer's website, plus a small margin was bought in case of an error, but the for the skate this margin did not suffice.

But worst of all, all the money for the continuation of the construction was over.
Here is not so thick with building materials in Kaliningrad and with limited finance their search is doubly difficult.

Somehow we will break through.

Well at the end a small video illustrating the mounting of the shingles, as well as the installation and use of "high-tech devices".
