More roofing

Here's the ridge venton the loft roof. The center of the roofing panels is bent up to form a dam so that rain can't be driven up into the vent.















The corners are realed with some very sticking all purpose flexible flashing.















The (almost) finished product.

Metal roofing at last

We had what is hopefully the last snow of the season a week ago, but today was in the 60s.

The metal roofing is finally going on.

A learning experience, but no serious misteaks so far.





The skylights are (temporarily) in -- they will come out breifly when the skylight flashing goes in. I've used some Grace's all purpose flashing around the skylights, which isn't leaking, even w/o the roofing.

End walls -- framing and sheathing

The weather has finally improved and the end walls are framed and sheathed.

Next step, weather permitting, is to install the roofing.

More overhangs



Here's the last of the pine. It will be covered w/ tar paper ASAP, before it rains.
