Work Day 14 - RG Project

Started a little after 9am and finished about 1pm. I used a 5 pound hammer and a large crowbar. I pounded on the underside of the boards next to the 2x6 rafter. When I got enough of a gap I used the crowbar to leverage the board up until the nail was completely exposed. I took a while to get the first boards loose. The shingles were holding things together more than I expected. I was finely able to work my way down the length of the roof. I think I got a 1/4 to 1/3 removed.

Tomorrow I go to the Loveland Museum and will take a day off to rest up. Swinging a 5lbs. sledge hammer is hard on the arms. So Thursday morning 9am I will take the rest of the roof off. I am getting more planks to walk on. Then after finishing the east side I will start at the top and work my way down the west side. Breaking through the middle was pretty hard. I will use some saw horses so that I can go from the top and use the crowbar and work my way down the roof, from the inside. I hope it will go faster than today's did.
