Just a quick update with some pictures. Finishing the rafters seemed to take forever and now putting up the purlins for the metal roof on the 16" on center rafters is crazy tedious. But, it all has to get done...

I had family help with all the rafters except the last four. I never want to try that again by myself!


Both cars temporarily stored after returning from Bowler Transmission's Day at the Strip event.


Another almost $1400 in lumber! Not sure where all my buddies that are into crossfit are while we're loading and unloading material..


Just some rafter pictures



Hours of working on purlins only got us half way up one side.


And here is where we were as of last night. Tough to see upstairs but we started putting in the ceiling joists to tie the rafters together and give it more stability before moving on.
