The Project

This is one of the projects that we worked on over the weekend.  We replaced the roof of a big section of the barn.  So now it won't leak all over the barn when it rains.  It was a lot of work!
After my husband took down all the old sheet metal from the roof, we decided it would take us quite a few days to finish the rest of the work installing the new roof and pearlings.  So we cheated and hired someone to finish the job.  Those guys finished it in about 7 hours when it would have taken us probably at least 3-4 days if we did it ourselves.

 Taking down the old roof

Yeah, we rented a scissor lift to do the job

Almost done taking down all the old roof

This section of the barn is finished

 Before (not the best Before picture but you 
can kind of see the old wood looked kind of 
dark and old, they were all rotted out and the 
sheet metal roof was all rusty and there were holes 
everywhere.

 After (new pearlings and new roof)    

                                           

 It was really cold that morning we started the project.  
There was frost on the ground.
