Finishing the Reroofing at the B-holds'


Much carnage and devastation was wrought in White Cloud last week. After months of delay, the old roof has been COMPLETELY removed and replaced with a new JMC roof (John- and Michael-certified). The old chimney was the only fatality in the end, which we thought was pretty good considering how many minor volunteers we had. Above, John is finishing putting down new boards because the metal flashing between the chimney and old roof didn't provide superior protection against liquid substances from the stratosphere, and the old boards were fairly saturated.

Luckily, the chimney halted before the propane tank; the chimney probably weighed in the ballpark of 273 pounds.

At a couple stages of the game, John was quite puzzled, considering how he could convey his instructions with terms that his slaves could comprehend.
