Skylights Replacement Part 2

Here is Curtis in his tar clothes beginning another skylights replacement day.

This is how the day began with the new plywood.

Here is a curb mounted on the skylight hole. The skylight will fit on the curb.

This roll roofing will be used upside down on the plywood.

The "torchlight" material is put on the rool roofing with a torch.

The can on the right is known as mastic in the trade and it is used as a patch on holes and at the edges. The asphalt emulsion is used at the end and smeared over everything else. It holds the gravel and fills any small holes. Today we did not put on the asphalt emulsion because it is water based and it is due to rain tonight. It will be put on next week, it only takes an hour or so. The roof is leak free without it. See below in the testing phase.

Here Darrel puts on the roof roll.

Here he puts the torchlight on.

Here he torches the bond between the roof roll and the torchlight material.

Here is the torch.More torching.

The mastic has been put on the edges and corners. In the mastic is put a mesh-like material to give it strength. It does not really look done because the asphalt emulson and gravel have not yet been put on. However, it is leak free.

The work passes the test!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God.

Skylights Replacement UGH!!

This is Darryl. If you need roof work done he is your man. He also has lots of very interesting stories.

This is before the work. First the old roof had to be peeled off.

The work was very messy and tedious.

This is how it looked after the old tar and gravel was removed.

Below Darryl takes out the bad skylights.

He is very strong. Here Darryl carries up by himself the new skylight.

The plywood was found to be bad so it had to be removed and replaced.

The plywood was replaced and the old skylights temporarily placed over the holes for overnight protection from the elements.

The roof is very messy with lots of stuff for the garbage.

Steinhart Aquarium and more

Before Jedidiah, Rachel, Kathryn left for Wisconsin, Grandma got to say good bye.

Curtis was amazed at how enthralled Isaac was at the exhibits. The concept of the glass was very strange to Isaac. He could not figure out why he could not touch the fish, snakes and lizards.

Presentation of future plans

Jedidiah and Rachel dressed in native attire when they presented their life plans to the cell group class.

The class was very interested.

The table had literature and some crafts.

Lucy and Rachel made very tasty native food for lunch, including baklava.

Visit from Wisconsin

Here is the whole group from Wisconsin, Livermore and Fremont visiting the family in Prunedale.

Here Isaac plays with Libby and Sophie.
Lucy and Kathryn share a necklace.

Kathryn loves flowers and is learning how to say flower in Mongolian.

This dog is a bit too big for Jedidiah. Ask Jedidiah about his heroism with Jason's dog Sasha.

Let's play.

Isaac loved going downhill fast. Kathryn did not like it. She preferred looking at flowers.
