Nice work. It's like the UP version of "this old house", only this is more ambitious than the projects I see on TV!

Whats the status Lenny?! I got sucked into your "this is your old house" episode!
had a good day today for roofing, 75 and cloudy, sun came out a bit ago and wow did it get uncomfortable fast. Cloudy now and just came home to eat dinner, going back for a few more hrs. We are over 50% shingled as of now and probably 75% before the end of the weekend.

Pictures! Need visuals! We need to bring up a camera crew to your place and start filming "Lennys Victorians".
he he he, maybe a few pics tomorrow. I did achieve my 75% complete goal but it took me till 8:30 tonight to get there. The main roof minus the porches will be done by the end of the day Tuesday, weather permitting. I spent a bit of time flashing the chimney. I ground a slot in the brick and used a brake to bend my metal. I bent a 3/8" tab and slipped the metal in the notch and caulked it. I didn't use the step up method but I believe it will perform fine. I ran 2 courses of ice and water shield up the eves, should be good for many years

look forward to seeing you Dan.
I came very close to my goal of finishing the main house roofing but lacking a few hrs only, will finish tomorrow. The last few days the sun has been hot and had to get off the roof for a good portion of the heat hrs. We tore out plaster in 3 bedrooms (ceilings). Things will be moving along good once I get the roof complete. Pics tomorrow for sure!!!

C'mon, Lenny...put up a webcam for us!
I stopped up to the old house on 8/12 and its looking good! I had my camera but didnt even think of taken a picture or two! This place is huge too it is going to look good when Lenny and his crew get done like in all the other houses he has build. Cant wait to see where you are at on Labor day weekend maybe you might have time for a BEER or two then.
