A Big Job

It's almost October, so the push is on to get the house closed in before the snow starts to fly. Menards made another important delivery to us today. They brought all our roofing and siding materials. The truck dropped the trailer down by our barn.

The driver then used the forklift on the truck to pick the items off the trailer and carry them up to the house site.

Steve loves seeing his name on the materials. This is the sticker on one of the bundles of siding.

We had a crew of 7 there today. It's a big job to sheet a roof this large and this steep!

I cropped the above photo to show you the position of the guy in the lime green shirt and the other guy holding the sheet of OSB. It's hard work, but they're both in their 20's.

I'll update the "CONSTRUCTION - Photo Log" with more photos from today's work within the next hour. 

All is well in the Keweenaw.
