Our second major project during the summer of 2014 was putting a new roof on the big barn.
Here is a before pic. Notice how some tin is missing. The other side of the barn roof was even worse.
So, the boys and David and even Grandpa Phil, tore tin off of the small barn to use on the big barn. They then repaired and replaced the old tin on the back side of the big barn. Doesn't it look great!

This pic is out of order, but this is Dane and David doing the repair work.
The front side of the big barn roof was a different story. The boys heaved large panels of metal roofing up the ladders to David, who then screwed it in place. See David tethered in so he doesn't fall off!
This was a hot, heavy, long process!
This pic makes me nervous!
Here is the finished front side of the big barn roof. Notice the skylights! David put some clear plexiglass roof panels between some of the rafters to let sunlight into the barn loft. It looks nice and bright up there...pics to come!

Roofing may seem like a difficult task, but it's a necessary one nonetheless. It was a good move to choose some metal roofing this time. Metal is known for its durability, particularly in cold weather. Plus, it is 100% recyclable. It is effective to use and eco-friendly too. I just hope you finish the other side with ease as well. Good luck!
