Mood: Hate the cold. Love the Chai. (Luuuuuv the chai)
Well, yesterday was my first sort-of break from playing with the roof. With the cold snap that came out of no where - my sinuses decided to run amok and turn my stomach sour. Yes, I do hate it when that happens. Mother nature must have a serious case of ADD.
Listen lady. Keep it spring for 3 months, -then- summer, and... wait for it...FALL... and then you can take a break again and let it be winter for a while. Stay on task woman!
Well, Tuesday the roofing was finished and we put up "rolled roofing" rather than shingles. Much easier to put up and a lot lighter on the frame. My grandfather said that it will do everything it needs to do for the next ten years so I shouldn't have to worry about it.
Now we're putting on the side-walls and the guttering. We have three of the sidewall pannels up and have to wait a while on the others because the guttering needs to go up first so it can be hidden from the inside.
So, the remainder of the project includes:
- Finish the gutters
- Move some of the larger stone blocks out from behind the car port
- Finish the wall pannels & lattice inserts
- Dig the drainage ditch along the back wall
- Grade the back edge to get rid of some of the mud and excess dirt
- Cover the ground with gravel
- Paint the enterior.
- (eventually) hang new lights inside the Port
So, I've still got some work to be done and hopefully it will warm up so I can do it.
