Roofing on back order until after labor day.

Finished up pretty much as far as I can go while waiting on the roofing material to arrive. Couple of pictures showing the door rough openings and the end wall. Will be working on getting the fire wood in over the next week instead.

that's sure a much better place than where you started ...

I think so too. Thanks. I'm glad to be away from it for few days. It was getting to be a drag working on it day after day. Working on the firewood will be a welcome change of pace.

...and then they delivered it to the wrong city!

Finally delivered Thursday afternoon. Unpacked the pallet Friday morning and got the ridge and first 3 panels up by myself before calling it a day. My son came over this morning and we finished the roof, the end gable flashing and the facsha board for the gutter. Way faster with my son's help. He's still young enough to gymnastics his way through the trusses using them as foot and handholds while shooting sheet metal screws into the adjoining roof panel. Tomorrow the gutters and then I can back off until later in the fall for the the doors. Gotta bathroom remodel working on too.

Looks real good.

Nice work! Must feel good to get that knocked out!

It does. Thanks RR and E2. With the delay I had been worried I'd get caught out in our typical Labor Day weekend deluge. This year that deluge didn't happen, so I'm relieved and glad I finally have it weather ready.
