If there was ever any doubt - you're no wimp... that's a heck of a complex looking pattern to tackle... -Mike  |

Yep, I can still use 'em. You gonna make the Blue Goose? Looks good. do you have to cut the radii on the shingles or did you find some to buy like that?

They're called "fancy butt" shingles...and there is one mill left in North America that cuts them. Basically, they cost about a buck each.  |

Okay...from this:To this: More pictures and a narrative here...alternate title..."How to run a chopsaw from a bucket truck." Paint and trim later. I've got other fish to count before they hatch.

Wow Daniel, NICE JOB! That's an amazing transformation, plus it gives the folks something to talk about.... That crazy author guy who spends every spare moment in that crazy contraption that he calls a bucket truck. I'm sure it looks even better in person than it does in the pictures and gives you a lot of satisfaction in a project well done. A project like that one takes a lot of "stick to-it-tiveness" but the results are worth it. Beautiful job! Keep up the good work!
