Friday!!!
More work on the roof!

 Built the eaves and facia on the left side of the roof.

 Right side of the roof still waiting for sheets of plywood.

 Building the eaves on the left side front of the roof.

 Eaves extended and ready to cut.

 Elder Gibson hard at work.

Both sides of the eaves are built, facia is in place.

Started first row of plywood.

It is amazing to see your hard work.  This has been a very hard week.

but we did accomplish the task.  I know that Elder Gibson wanted to have the roof completely sheeted, but I ran out of energy.  So next week we should have it complete.

Thursday, we both are up and ready to work on the roof again.

 So we finished the Eaves this morning!

 Blocking in place, ready to sheet.

 First row of plywood started

Awesome!!!

 Elder Gibson working on the second row

I'm below lifting up the plywood!

 Except when I run down stairs to take the photo's!!!

 Kache and Ridder showed up to help me lift the plywood up to Elder Gibson

because of their help we got a lot farther along than I though we would.

I was not sure how I was going to lift the plywood up without help.

 Great team!!!

Elder Gibson, Kache, and Ridder!!!
