Click on his name, and go to his bio info, and you can tell when he was last logged in to the Forum. It was yesterday afternoon. Relax, he'll get his laptop figured out. ;)

Finally got the roofing materials hauled to the site, and began installing Facias. Got them up , and started roof sheets. This is the hardest part for me, making sure they are running square. After roof was up Friday, I put the last of the 18" pine logs for the siding on the mill bed. Saturday it was raining, but not to worry, because log was ready to cut. Cut to 12"x12" cant then made siding boards. Sure is too pretty to use for siding!

After all was cut up, it was nailing time!

Will nail battens later.

The roof pitch worked out perfectly after my miscalculation! Facia is floating 1/4" over rib on roof sheet so rain cannot blow between the buildings, as they are not attached to each other.

Looking thru mill shed to drying shed.

These Red Oak logs will be my first grade lumber

to be stored in my new shed, after I take the time to quarter saw them. Lots of fun. Andy

Looks good Andy.

Are you the one who had a sister, Martha, all in a panic that you couldn't post?

If so, must have found a solution and what was the problem?

Yes that is me and her I am back at home now, but was offline when I was up at the lake. Something wrong with my laptop I guess!
Will take it to the doctor tomorrow. Andy
