today was a long strange day. cody nor josh were there today, so lauren and i worked pretty much just the two of us all day. we started the day by putting up the drip edge but it rained the whole time and i am still sick so robert cut us loose for the day. i went to starbucks and killed some time until about 11:30 and went back to site because a large group of non-profit people were coming to tour the site. there were a lot of people that showed up, at least 6 or 7 groups of 5. so after all the tours we all made our way down to the community center for lunch and a presentation. the presentation was about all the ways [urban studio] and other departments throughout UNCG were in collaboration and how it would extend into the occupation of the house. after lunch lauren and i went back to site to work for the afternoon. we continued on the drip edge. it was quite a task because it was the first day that we were working with the roof and after only a couple of hours of instruction from andy i was definitely not confident. we ran into several issues during the afternoon. first we put a 90 degree edge up and we were supposed to put a "non 90 degree edge" on so we had to take it down. we put the "non 90 degree" edge on the roof and wrapped it around the side of the facia. come to find out it is supposed to be pieced with a 90 degree edge on the side. so we had to take it down and re do it again. finally we got the correct edge pieces on the front and the side and got to move on to the second piece and the right side. by the end of the day we had one section of drip edge done. i really hope that the rest of the roof does not go this slow! if it does it will take forever!
