West side Freight House roofing finished

Report and photo by Dennis Casebier

The wind blew all night and was blowing some when we got up this morning, but it wasn't real cold at 39 degrees on the front porch. I figured not much work would get done, but then along about mid-morning, things began to happen.

First the roofers showed up. Three guys altogether. Then the wind slacked off. They've been working steadily out there ever since. It appears they'll get the roof on the west side of the Freight House done today. They are hopeful of finishing the whole roofing job by Wednesday. They have not started on the roof over the two-story part. But Mr. Cordova told me they plan to have a different crew out here tomorrow to do that portion and likely they'll finish it tomorrow.

I went over to the job site again at 3:00 PM and saw the roofers had finished the roofing on the west side of the Freight House. They were up on the tall ladders working on the west edge of the roof over the two-story part. I expect they are serious about getting that done tomorrow. The roof on the east side of the Freight House isn't completed yet, but it will be easy compared to the roof over the two-story part.
