5 Days Later, More Steel, Both Sides!

Yesterday we finished putting the last full sheets of steel on the backside of the garage roof. We learned a lot doing it: how Hal can maneuver there, applying the radiant barrier, using strings to hold the cloth in place while he stapled it on, the best way to lift the steel without a forklift, how to be sure the purlins were the correct distance apart at the center of each section by using spacers, and not to try placing steel on days were the winds are 15 mph and above.

So this is the back side of the roof, with 12 sheets of steel. The overhangs we will do after we complete the front.

And today we started on the front of the garage, 2 sheets of steel, 2 more planned for tomorrow.
