One side roofed !

No, that's not an 80's rock band.

One side of the cabin roof now has magnificent recycled rubber simulated slate shingles.
It's been a gorgeous weekend. Sunny and 50's or 60's both days. First warm days in a couple of months. Still some ice on the ground, but perfect for shingling.

Unfortunately, the frozen ground was thawing and the road was terrible to drive on. Got stuck in the muck on Saturday. Nancy and Andrew and Carly's boyfriend and I pushed while Carly was behind the wheel. Should have unloaded all the shingles - for some reason I only unloaded two bundles before leaving the scene. what was I thinking???

Meaning today, not willing to face the mud again, I had to haul the shingles, two bundles at a time in a backpack. The loop road in the park is closed fo the winter, so I hiked them over from Marmary, a couple hundred yards through the woods.

My original plan was to shingle the smaller south slope of the roof Saturday, and do the north side Sunday. As it is, I only got the small side done - When you don't know what you are doing, it takes a while to figure it out!! But, the rest of the roof should go pretty quickly.
And take a look at this - they really do look like slate. What slate shingles are doing on an agricultural shed is another question entirely. But it's sustainable, recycled, and should last for 50 years.
