Raising the roof

The Gingrich family left after Tyler finishing helping Len move pallets from the neighbour's yard into ours.  We are to the point where the truck we borrowed from Joe needs to go back.  It isn't strong enough to move the last couple of bundles of walls, so we will figure out another way to move them.

Today we worked on getting scaffolding up so that the facia could be put up so that the roofers could roof.  They came with an on-site rig that forms the sheets and cuts them at the right lengths.  So more visual progress.    You will see the first piece of green that went up and also how good the tan roof looks with it (at least I think so).  We chose a light roof colour on purpose; it reflects the sun making for a cooler attic or house.

Sheeting continues

Although it is a long weekend, the carpenters will be back Monday morning and the roofers will be here tomorrow to do what they can.
