Great improvement! I would have loved to see some shots of the demo of the old roof while your diy'er was living there.
I thought I was the only one that did tippy toe nailing on dangerous ladder angles.

Almost missed responding to this. On this particular job, there wasn't a heckuva lot of drafting--mostly rudimentary sketches and a couple of computer renderings. But man, the old foxtail brushes is a blast from the past!

I especially like the oil tank in the front of the house. The green paint job really blends in well with the........................ grass.
