I ended up taking the front corner of the roof apart to get the hip ready for tar paper and shingles, including some ice and water shield, which I actually think I installed wrong after talking to my roofer neighbor.
Mom and Dad showed up around 12 and Dad helped me out with cutting some plywood and getting stuff I needed in the garage while Mom watched Sam after he got dropped off by the sitter while they were out doing errands. Anywho... here are some pictures of the progress for Day 2, not feeling like doing the full description narrative, so you will have to follow along with the captions on the photos; sorry they are a little out of order.
