A view of the roof, shingles complete

Finished shingling the roof. Special thanks to @milsyobtaf @catsilo and Rachel for putting in work.

Fun fact, what Rachel and I were able to complete in 6 hours the day previous, the four of us did in just over an hour and a half.

Roof underlayment installed

After many smashed fingers, lots of sweating, a necessary amount of swearing, and an entire box of cap nails, the roof underlayment is installed with Rachel’s help. We had fun, but also… our fingers hurt real bad afterward.

Roof decking installed

Really productive day! After learning, the hard way, that I should not (and could not) get a 4x8 sheet of plywood up on the roof by myself, I enlisted the help of @catsilo and …

Bones supervises the job site while Casey stands on a ladder working in the background

Only squeezed a few hours of work in today, and I was by myself. However I did manage to make progress I’m happy with. Finished sheathing the walls minus one section that requires some tree maintenance before sheathing can safely be installed in the back top corner. Otherwise, Bones was out again to supervise the jobsite.

Walls completely sheathed

All rafters lofted

A very productive day thanks to the help of both @milsyobtaf and @catsilo – today was a real barn raising. They lofted the rafters and installed them while I made all the bird’s mouth and plum end cuts. We managed to get all of the remaining rafters installed, which was super great!
