On Wednesday, September 26, 2007, work began on a new standing seam roof. Jancewicz & Sons of Bellows Falls, VT (what our local contractor called the Cadillac of roofers) began work in the rear. Pictured above is the portion of the roof covered by the burgundy, 24 guage metal that will be applied to the main roof and the dining room roof.
Below are photos of the staging area in the driveway where the strips are cut and the weather-proofing strips that are placed over the existing shingles before the final metal strip is secured to the roof.
Ethel and Colin Brodie paid a visit to us this past weekend. We met them on our Elderhostel trip to Turkey and Greece. The Brodie's were just returning from a tour of Norway, Iceland, and Greenland (from which they had a great selections of photos that we enjoyed). During the visit, we introduced them to the Coolidge homestead (the four of us are pictured above) and Colin had an opportunity to relax, Vermont style, at the General Store. After a short hiatus in their California home, the Brodie's plan to tour Africa early next year. It was great to renew acquaintances with "fellow travelers" from Turkey and Greece.
