3 trips to Ipswich,
2.5 hours traveling across state going 30 mph,
1 trip to Southboro,
1 trip to Townsend,
and 5 ladders later... we are doing the roof ourselves.
We are now the proud owners of an air compressor, an assortment of roof jacks, staging, ice and water dam, roof felt paper, drip edge, 30 lbs of 1-1/4" roof nails, and other things Ryan would remember and I do not.
Mother Nature unfortunately didn't cooperate with us this weekend, but Caitlin's dad Lou helped with prep work and after hearing about our adventure across the state of Massachusetts on Route 62 with the Ranger, lended us his rig for the week. A team of Southboro's finest, The Brothers McShera and Ryan's dad Rick are tentatively assembled for work next Sunday. I'll be there, too. I'm not letting them have all the fun.
Home Depot Trip #1:
Our project awaits:
The Ranger - just a quick trip down the road, Officer:
Cait's Dad lends a hand:
We had lunch at Stone Soup Cafe after dropping off our last round of ladders and supplies. It's just down the street from us and was a great spot. Any place that devotes a full section of their menu to grilled cheeses is a-okay in my book. Besides that, the beer (Ipswich Ales, naturally - more on that later) was cold and the staff friendly. We'll definitely be back!
