Shingles Ahoy!

I'm not usually a nautical kinda gal (sorry, Lin & Bluesy), but there's something sort of ship-like about being up on the roof.

I don't feel very nautical when I'm ripping off old roofing material, but when I'm up on deck (yes, it is technically called the roof deck) repairing broken timbers, I often find myself saying things like, "ARRR. Get back here, matey." (speaking to a tool which goes sliding down towards the water driveway below)

Maybe I need a Roof Pirate icon.

eta: In the past, I've had to replace timbers because of water or termite damage. On the east side of the roof, I've found a number of boards that look like they've been hit by cannonballs. Something bludgeoned them inwards, causing severe cracking. Don't ask me what happened!
