Barn Ready for Roof !!!




Shown here, the two Brians from MDK Construction are finishing the sheathing and soffet on the South facing elevation of the barn. These two braved the weather and the danger of a badly rotted loft floor and spent the past week up and down ladders and scaffolding repairing the structural elements of the roof; its rafters and bracing, before moving on to the man lifts and scissor lift to replace the rotted sheathing and other exterior components of the roof.


JR roofing from Olympia is due out this Monday to start putting the tin on. I know they will be pleased to find the structure sound, and I think they will be absolutely amazed to find it straight.

All in all everything is coming along well, and though I am ready to have this project finished I am already looking forward to the prospect of finishing the exterior trim and painting.
