Taking the Duro-Last membrane off the roof and then removing the insulation was one thing … actually deconstructing the roof board-by-board was another.

This, we keep telling ourselves, is the hardest part of the project.

Deconstructing the roof of the existing house.

The boards started coming off the roof today.

Now that the insulation from the roof was off, the 2x tongue and groove Redwood decking started coming off. Of course, that exposed the 4x Douglas Fir beams.

Staging Area in Front Yard

The kitchen started to ‘open up’ a bit as the roof decking came off, board-by-board.

Kitchen and Dining Areas Open Up.

Jerry Ditto acknowledged our project on his website again today.

Steve Jackel of Jackel Enterprises was kind and provided us with complimentary tickets to West Coast Green in San Jose.

The show was excellent - lots of relevant exhibits and we made excellent contacts. Seeing, touching and discussing the new, innovative products all in one place was a huge timesaver for us.

We hope that everyone that we spoke with will follow up and contact us to provide the additional information that we are looking for to evaluate how their products and services can become part of our project.
