A rennovation exploration

and on the 316th day there was light

We've passed another major project with success. This weekend Mark's dad came down and the two of them spent a very hot day installing a fancy new skylight. As per usual the day provided a few learning experiences, but it was generally a smooth process. We burned through four saw blades and almost one saw. Even the good Milwaulkee bi-metal sawzall blades were no match for the layers of tar, nails and metal flashing on the roof. On the good side, we'll happily trade four saw blades to avoid having to go onto our steep and scary roof.

The skylight looks great and the roof doesn't leak or sag so we're putting a mark in the success column for this one. Stay tuned for more adventures!
