The roof - think and improvise

Well, we now have boys that know how to put on a roof. Although it is a very small one compared to a house, the skills are the same. My husband taught them to tear off the old roof. Then they had fun using a chalk line to mark the rows for shingles. The only part they found hard was the peak as it was quite steep. Both for getting the roof off and getting the new one on.
We went out to this sight. We only caught a small part on video but when asked what he was doing- he said my husband's favorite saying; think and improvise!
He has a tie down strap that he fastened to the telephone pole to keep himself from falling off the roof! btw, it was his very thoughtful big sister who was giving him such horrid advice. And all from a distance.
