Timber Frame: Wood Siding And Metal Roof

This past weekend Ken finished the metal roof on the timber frame.  I asked him if he was going to take down the scaffolding so I could take pictures.  He said yes.  Sunday night the scaffolding was still in place.  I asked why, and he said he didn't know I meant I wanted it down right away.  He went out in the dark and took it down.  It's a good thing good communication isn't always a prerequisite for a good marriage.  Here's the progress to date on the timber frame ~

Ken built extensions to the rafters so there could be eaves

He attached planks with clamps so he could safely climb the roof

Here Ken is almost finished with lumber on the roof

The tarp tied over the roof made it hard to get photos for awhile

Windows went in after the siding went on

There's even a window in the back

The metal roof was finished October 19

Four windows provide plenty of natural light

The next job is to build doors, and Ken has plans for those.  Then we will build a garden bench and start moving in gardening supplies and outdoor tools.  Work is on schedule to be finished before winter arrives, which means there will be room for me to park my car in the garage before the snow flies, and that's a good thing.
