The contractors finished the roof by the end of last week. They will be back to close the gable ends and install windows & doors soon.
…and I’ve been building a shed.

The contractors arrived today. 🎉
The trusses were up by early afternoon.
Sheathing and fascia installation is underway.
Tomorrow they will start shingling.

Autumn has arrived (and it’s still very dry). The colours are sneaking up on me.
Materials for the shed arrived and floor construction has begun.
A contractor (Adam’s Yard Maintenance) is coming to start installing the trusses and roofing for the house this coming Monday.

A potential contractor is putting together a quote to install the trusses and roofing.
In the meantime, I started to install foundation screws for the shed. Besides being used for storage, the shed will house the solar power batteries, inverter and controller.

Siblings and their partners came by to put up roof trusses today. I’m grateful for their help and expertise, but it was becoming evident that clambering about on walls and ladders 3 – 4 m above the ground was too dodgy. So after five trusses were up, I halted work.
I’m in the process of finding a contractor to come in to safely place the remaining 14 trusses.
