More Demolition

Our house will be growing outward and up with two new bedrooms and a bath over the existing garage.  But first the existing roof must come off and trusses installed.  The best part of this project is that the relentless Texas heat has broken.  We spent the first 6 weeks in 100+ temps but over the past week we are in the 50's at night and reasonable (80's) temps during the day.

Skip is working on the removal.  A circular saw was used to cut directly through the shingles, felt paper, and roof decking in section.  Using a sledgehammer, pry bar, and cat-like balance these were forcibly removed.

Amazingly it took only 2 hours for four of us to take the roof off and put it in the construction dumpster.  A lot of waste but we did save the rafters and beams to reuse.  James and Oscar are continuing the demolition here, after the roof was removed.

And the clean garage...
