Looks interesting. Must be the method to pull the tape across the roof.
100_0801cr.jpg
Here's what we're going to do.
100_0803cr.jpg
If you hit the tape retract it pulls the line off the reel. (Just routine weekend entertainment - Maine style.)
100_0804cr.jpg
We see what your doing there, Pete.
100_0805cr.jpg
The tape comes right across.
100_0807cr.jpg
Measure once then sand to fit. The trim was finished up before shingling started.

The original blue tarp was at the end of its usefulness so a new one was pulled over it. The old one started out the same color as the new one and it's only been up a couple of months.
Ice and Water shield has been laid down.

Kathy's second floor work is done.
100_0073cr.jpg
Shingles stacked and ready to go. They put the instructions right on the wrapper, so anyone can do the job.
100_0832cr.jpg
Where does this thing start?
100_0830cr.jpg
John makes some layout lines.
100_0834cr.jpg
Shingles are being installed.
