Nearly 3 Valleys Woven - November 23, 2019 @goldenoakfarm

It was a bit colder Saturday morning but we had to make a milk run and pick up our beef so we headed out early. He got up on the roof just before 10AM and it hadn’t hit 40F yet. The sun was out so it would warm some.

He’d gotten part of the first valley woven on the porch on Friday before it started raining. He finished that then tackled the other one. I think he ended up weaving both valleys at once as they are so close together. Once they space was wider, he just went up to the peak of the main house over the kitchen.

This was about 3PM. He went on working and was 1 bundle from the top when he quit. He was too tired to carry up the next bundle and finish. This area was the hardest one with 3 valleys to weave.

It’s to rain all day on Sunday, so he gets a day off. Monday he hopes to finish the valley and the west side over the living room. Perhaps even get a start on the north side valley, he says.

It's looking very nice! We went with steel for our roof because our pitch is not as steep as yours. Either way, roofing is a lot of work, uff da!

We'd planned on a metal roof, but he realized that he would have to be up there several times a year to clean the chimney, and metal roofs are slippery. So he changed his mind and went with shingles.

It looks very nice! Its a-lot of hard work! 😁
