The Gray Cliffs of Emporia
A view you’ve never seen before!
In this image, the poor condition of the gray shingles is obvious. You can even see how loose they are, rather than being TIGHT to each other. In a high wind, they all sorta flap about.
I prefer non-flapping shingles.

Let’s hope there is no rot under there as well. They really are in terrible shape. I hope you will be able to reuse at least some of them.
Those shingles are thirsty! Much worse up close! Poor old things.
I’m shocked at how intact the wall is after what had you said, 20+ years? Where I am in Western Washington, water will destroy a house in record time. South facades especially…wet weather off the pacific that blows south to north. Unattended that long, it’d be into the framing.
Geez, what a task! I cannot imagine making all the effort to strip the paint, then just leave the bare wood exposed to the elements for, what – years?? Amazing progress you are making, though – as long as you survive the process. That which does not kill us makes us stronger, right?
