Roofing Shingles

I just got back from town with the shingles for the shed roof. If the weather holds tomorrow, I'll start to install some of the 14 bundles of shingles I bought.

Fourteen bundles doesn't sound like much until you realize that each one is 70 lbs and I'm hauling them in my utility trailer behind the car. That's almost 1,000 lbs of materials. I think it's about the most I want to put in the trailer, although I did once go to the landfill site with the trailer full of approx. 700 kg (1,500 lbs) of old plaster and drywall. I knew it was heavy, but had no idea until weighed in on the way out of the site. Ouch! Since then, I'd limited my capacity to a more reasonable level. >:)
