Since we’ll now be spending a good bit of time on the roof, we decided it was a good time to cut the hole in the roof deck for the roof window and get that framed out.  This will allow much easier access to the roof.  Our roofing materials arrived and look good!  So, we set to work getting the roof on!  Gotta start bottom to top to “shingle” all the roofing elements for waterproof rain shedding, so the first bit to go on was the flashing for the eaves.

Next was the roofing underlayment.  We were lucky that with the width of our roof, we only needed one strip of underlayment on each side of the roof!  Quick and easy!  Tackling the waterproofing of the ridge ventilation has been an endeavor with lots of brain-burning by Mr. Rose.  We needed the ridge vent and cap to be relatively narrow as we had a small roof and a roof window to fit.  But, crafty Eli had some custom c-flashing made to keep it tight, and self-adhesive peel-and-stick flashing is pretty amazing.

To top off our satisfying progress, we were rewarded with a killer sunset
