Roof is on!! Have to wrap top half with OSB and see how it looks after that, Have it in the trunk but have to take a break.
Going to watch Obama look concerned and sincere as he goes back and forth reading the teleprompters.

I dont see much pitch to that roof... I would highly recommend taking it apart (at the roof) and adding some pitch or you will have some serious issues if you get heavy snow and even rain could cause issues. All you really need to do is chop down 1 side by 1' or so.

Not going to get any snow and it has a little more pitch than it appears in pics I think it will be ok but thx for the interest. Joe

YES.. everyone is a critic... but snow or no snow aside... I would highly recommend some diagonal bracing between the verticle posts... does not have to be anything complicated or heavy. Without this, the whole thing has the potential to fold over like a house of cards. Just some friendly advice.

That is why I'm going to wrap it with osb 4x8 sheets and it should firm it up.

You have to protect the osb as you know. Do you plan on adding siding to match the house? That would look the best. Another option would be just to install T1-11 siding and paint it...
That sucker is tall. Maybe after its finished you can install a loft on the inside for restoration supplies storage space. Add a window and bay door.... Cool dude, Mike  |

I have a bunch of leftover siding in garage. I'm not closing it in, just something to keep stuff dry.

Joe,
That's looking GREAT. Don't expect your going to get any snow down Louisiana way but crazier things have happened!  As long as you have some degree of slant on the roof you should be good. Keep up the good work bud.Bob |
