Great pics.

I've always been the picture taker in my family. I'm rarely in pics. Even today.

You've done a fantastic job of chronically this build. Good to see some action pics of you!!!

Well, I did say my wife helped for 2 hrs that day, taking pictures.

Yea, I’m hardly in pictures cause I take them.

Some things I wish I had pictures of, and I don’t, like the septic install. Most was done why I was at work.

You're a lot younger than I had envisioned.

Well, I was a lot younger than, late 30s.

I know, I was just busting on you. We all were a lot younger 23 years ago.

I am enjoying your thread, BTW. Keep posting the pics.

Lol, thanks. It gets boring at times without pictures. Sometimes I just got so busy I didn’t think to take any.

One more from yesterday. I worked many nights into the dark.

No help today
Installed drip edge on back of main roof, installed roofing felt on main back roof. Even though the back roof is only 4/12, it’s not fun installing drip edge on the downhill side when you are 20-30 feet up from the ground, working from the roof.

Cut opening in sheathing for upstairs skylight.
Generator problems again, wouldn’t stay running.
Built front gable overhang for the 10 ft section. These were built on the ground then lifted into place and nailed on. Usually things like this were done after dark, then installed next day.

It has been amazing how much Buckeye gets done by himself.
