A Great Start on the Roof Demolition

We've come almost as far as we can with the interior demolition 
while having the roof still on,but Mr Mossi wanted to go ahead and dig into 
the roof  before he has to go back to his 9 to 5 on Monday. 
He started on it by himself yesterday and got about 20% of the shingled sheeting removed.
He had some good helpers today and is feeling grateful for hard-working sons
(when I say 'sons' I mean sons-in-law included) 
and relieved that they were not only able to get all the shingled sheeting off,
but also get a good start on removing the planks under the sheeting as well.
Here are a few photos...

Takin' a break.

This is about where they left off for the day.

Before calling it quits for the day, Mr decided to add a skylight to the living room.
Nice touch, don't ya think?
