Roof finished and nailing boards up |
After pricing the 5-V tin it was almost $30 per 12 ft piece. While the corrugated galvanized steel was $11 per 12 ft piece. The cost savings enabled me to get a great roof at one third the price of tin, with a similar look. Plus I just like the corrugated look. So we covered the roof with twelve foot pieces of galvanized steel. This roof should last the rest of my life and my son's will have to worry about it before I do. However, before settling on the galvanized steel, I did go look at a lot of older barns that owners wanted torn down to see if I could recycle the roof tin from those barns. Most were OK at best, and after consideration I opted for a new roof.

Once the roof was on we had shade, I pulled out my hammock, strung it between some posts and took a nap enjoying the cool shade we just made.
Next step is underpinning, and starting on the walls.
