Existing wood shingles removal, area where early dormer opening was filled in with roof plank.

Establishing the dripline for the future hand hewn wood gutter. Mock-up gutter in place and starter courses of hand planed shingles being installed.

Original hand riven roof planks seen at the central (original section) and the north addition of the eastern roof slope.

Closer view of hand riven planks. Note that planks are tapered to fit where they lap each other. The curved planks are the shape of the log from which they are made.

Dutch repair of rafter end to top of wall plate. Note that the heavy wall plate is rotted out. A new Dutchman section was made to fit the existing section.

Hand riven planks on the south addition, east elevation roof.

The hand split, hand planed 30" long shingles in place with a 10" exposure. The shingles are 5/8" to æ" thick, and edged to fit tight to one another.

Dutchman repair work for rafter end and wall plate on street side.

Starter courses are being aligned with the mock-up gutter. Work was performed under temperature control to enable the workmen to proceed with necessary epoxy consolidation work for rotted or cracked wood roof framing members.

Hand riven planks at east elevation. Note the metal flashing found where earlier kitchen addition attached to the existing roof.

Hand riven planks on east exposure at original phase one chimney. Note joint line of planks up roof on each side of chimney.

East elevation, south end shingles being installed.

The same view as 12 but from a distance.

Careful fitting of shingles at dripline. Note the 30" length of the single and the tight edge joint. Shingles of this size are like boards and do not require the space between shingle edges that the modern thin shingles of today require for expansion when they get wet.
