House Update

These pictures are a couple days old and we're a little farther along, but you get the idea. Looks like a house. It's got a big steep green roof. Makes the building look larger then it really is. Dad's friend Jim Black was here this week helping out. Three is definately more than two when it comes to building.

A little short on metal roofing. Need two 8 foot sections. Windows are all in and look pretty nice. All windows are triple pane. The 4x4 picture window was a heavy sucker.
Here I'm putting on the ridge cap. We've had a whole week of sunshine, just what you need for roofing. Have to use a line when working on the roof. Can't stay on the metal without it.

Thanks for all the kind words. Built my first set of stairs yesterday. Had to dust off my old geometry book. They turned out pretty nice. Good to be done hefting 2x12 rafters 20 feet off the ground! Like Dad said, "It's starting to get fun."
