Half...

One whole (looong...) day and only half a roof...

Sigh... Not there yet.

Ok, time to pay credit where credit is due.

Roofing is not something one should do alone, if merely for safety reasons. Installing steel roofing (especially on this scale) is damn near impossible by yourself. For the top section, I enlisted the help of my wife's brother-in-law's Melvin and Pat, and as usual, my father-in-law was in attendance as well. Unfortunately Pat could only stay until 2pm, but Melvin hung in until dark. Let me tell you, this guy is part squirrel! He walks around on a roof like it was the ground! Needless to say, if it wasn't for him, I doubt we would have got the top done (which, I forgot to mention, included installing a large part of the 1" straping across the trusses, since I couldn't get it done before they showed up. Hopefully he'll come back to finish installing the ridge cap (still working on my slight fear of heights).
