Today was the day we tackled the roof. The snow from the top roof fell onto the lower roof and created a real mess and then with the snow and ice we got the other day, it was basically ice. We got our shovels and climbed out on the roof and started chipping and shovelling. I like to keep a little mound of snow between me and the edge and just push out from there but today we got some rope and tied Rejean off on the railings so he could reach a little closer to the edge. I stood on top of the snow and chipped and he shovelled. It was slow going but we got a lot done. Rejean cleaned it up with the tractor when we finished. Because of the pitch on the lower roof, there is really no danger of the ice and snow falling off and hurting someone but if it fell from the higher roof onto the lower one and then the force caused pieces to land on the ground, well it wouldn't be pretty. We will finish it tomorrow.
