Asphalt complete

Finished today with the asphalt by laying the 8" at the DOT right of way and checking for any low spots.





The first bit of topping going over the base.




All done, except the dot entrance.



My family talking a tour of the new parking lot.



Checked many areas with water to ensure that everything drained.













Over 8" at the DOT right of way.



All adjacent surfaces were properly tacked.









The second of three lifts at the entrance.







The machine that was "too close" to the road. Although it is hard to tell from the picture, the machine was over 4' from the road. They parked it there so that nobody would enter onto the new asphalt.




All done.

Paving started

Asphalt paving started. The base course was installed and compacted. The top layer will be installed tomorrow and Thursday.





The herbicide was installed before asphalt was laid.

Roof is started

The roofer started the shingles this week. He is almost done and should finish tomorrow.



Using the vertical column method and the Miami-Dade method with 6 nails per shingle.




Sealing the shingles to the valley metal







Valley metal correctly overlapping and being sealed.







Straight lines from chalk lines.




Looking down valley. Due to perception, it looks like the valley metal does not taper, but it does.




Looking up the valley metal. Taper more noticeable.
