The roof progress.....

Poor Mo is pouting, Mike and Jon moved the ladders so he can't bother
them anymore.

East side of the barn, metal installed minus the ridge cap and gable

end pieces which will be go on last. Looks so much better, but now the

paint job is in dire need!

Mike attaching the cross members on the West side of the barn. He got

got 80% of the cross pieces installed before the heat got unbearable,

so he packed it in for the afternoon. An early start in the morning and

he and Jon will be working on the shady side of the barn until well after

3pm. We're praying it's all finished by then. That leaves the 16x24 ft

add on roof for our firewood storage and extra hay storage.

It feels good to be getting the much needed problems areas

taken care of this year. Little by little it's all taking shape :o)

It's really looking good! Tell Mike if his job doesn't pan out, he can always be a roofer. lol

Nice job. Your horse actually looks depressed. Your picture cracks me up. Well done.

It feels so comforting to have on a new roof. The rains come and all those niggling feelings of dread just float away. :)

SFG,
He said, nope it's to much work, he's become soft as a manager*wink* Of course this is NOT true he works harder than his employees, longer hours too.

Stitch in Thyme,
Mo has such a range of personality, he's hard to keep up with, LOL! He's always getting into some sort of trouble.

Faith,
Glad to see you back on blogger. You took the words right out of my mouth, now we won't need to give it a second thought.

Blessings for your day,
Kelle

Isn't it amazing how the new roof really made you notice your need for a paint job? Isn't that how it always is? lol.
The roof looks great!
