This Girl’s House

We have a few more details to complete before we can say that we have finally finished the new garage. The most challenging will be putting up the shingles on the front gable. I made the mistake of believing that it is cheaper to get bundles of shingles and stain them myself than it was to put up pre-stained shingles. I’ve since learned my lesson, although it’s too late. For a really good seal, you need to do a triple deal of stain on each shingle. We’ve spent $70 on 2 1 gallon cans of stain, and we’ve only applied one coat to 3 of 7 bundles of shingles Stevie says that the first coat will soak up the most. Then we need to climb up on the scaffolding and staple the shingles onto the gable. I’ll take pictures.
