Two Days' Work

More progress!

This is the bead board ceiling almost in place--we'll paint it white to maximize light and to cover the lumberyard's markings on the rafters...

The outdoor storage is taking shape; ceiling's about half on here.

The lumberyard delivered the rigid tongue-and-groove insulation and the metal roofing just as Mark was ready for it! It really looked bright out there when he got all the insulation on...call me goofy, but I'm glad it was the blue stuff instead of the pink. Other than breast cancer awareness, I'm not much of a pink person!

Obviously, it's a lot darker inside with a roof!
Gotta find another window for that back wall...

And now, Saturday, most of the roof is in place...

I didn't expect anything much to get done today, but I'd misunderstood Mark--he came this morning shortly after we got back from the cabin, to try to get as much of the metal roof on as he could before the skies opened again...

We chose metal roofing for a number of reasons--partly because I've lived with it at the cabin for 20+ years and it seems to be almost indestructible unless a tree falls on it. Then it just dents a little...(yep, had that happen at the cabin...) I also love the look--very shed-like, don't you think?--and the sound of rain on the roof...

So life is good; got lots done, had wonderful coffee, sunshine, and quiet, got closeup photos of damselflies at the cabin, then I got to sit in the shed and listen to the rain. AFTER the white-out, buckets-of-rain downpour. (What's WITH this year, anyway??)

J's off to the grocery store and to stop by a Legion function, and I'm taking my Shandy, my journal, and my book to the shed...
