This picture is the rear of the house prior to the metal roof. This week was spent getting the overhangs built, then sheeting the roof with OSB, laying down Grace ice and water shield. The big deal of the week was attaching the metal roof. Mike hired two guys to help Casey as it was too high for Mike to climb and too much work for one person. It went really fast when they got started and it was all over by Thursday afternoon. The metal roof was in 16"wide sheets x 29 feet long. It all clipped together so our roof has no exposed screws. Now if it rains- we won't have any water inside.
When the roofing guys left- Casey and Mike got busy building the balloon walls on the interior. The interior ceiling slopes inside just like the roof and to get the division between rooms- they had to build up to the slope. The task is tedious and slow so "picture taking" livened up the day.
Friday was spent (the entire day) shopping for electrical parts- wire, breakers and ground posts as well as for the last plumbing materials to get the infloor heat upstairs. Today- Saturday July 21st- we Tyveked the outside and cleaned up. Saturday afternoon we spent trying to find a good fishing hole. We did not find any fish but it was a nice day to spend time on the riverbank.
