We’ll get some repairs to our roof this fall.

"We’ll get some repairs to our roof this fall."

I've been thinking about doing that myself. The last time I shingled it was a few decades ago. It's time again, but the roof is more ready for it than I am.

I like chalklining the layout, to keep everything nice and straight. The last time, I had to substitute twine for the chalkline because it was getting too dark to see the lines otherwise.

It took a lot of shingles, and a lot of nails. At least I have enough nails left over from the last time. I had bought a fifty-pound box.
