The darn rain has finally blown out of there for a day . . . and I jumped at the opportunity to get back on this projects
( and try and keep my wood dry )
First of all, the only 14' boards that I could find were non-treated lumber ( but they'll be in the roof structure )
So . . . this morning I got up and painted all the untreated lumber with oil-based paint . . . to protect it . . .
Then it was time to start on the tin roofing . . . had to cut each piece 2x - debur it,
wash it ( they have been sitting for years and are a mess ) and then get it installed . . .
Was not sure if I'd have enough time in the day to get this thing done . . .
But . . . I was able to stick to it, and get this whole side of the roof installed . . .
Still have the tin on the lower wood piles in place to keep them dry till the other side goes up . . .
Now it's time to get started on the roof structure for the other side of this structure . . .
So far - very happy with the progress . . .
Thanks Devin . . . what "fun" is cookie cutter projects . . . add a little of yourself into the project and have some fun . . .
Thanks for the kind words and the compliment . . . much appreciated.

Your projects always have a unique twist to them, no cookie cutter construction here lol. Looks great and at that pitch you could just about roof it standing up haha.
