North Gable End

Yesterday, Ben and I were able to finish installing the steel siding on the north gable.


Just about finished. We had to carefully cut each piece to fit the slope of the roof and sit properly on the drip strip. The shelters helped to keep the sun from scorching us as we measured and cut each piece to fit.




Done and very happy with the results.



I see I need to add a strip of facia to the pitch of the roof. 


I'll put that on today's list.





While we worked outside, Paul was working on the inside, mudding and taping the ceiling.


Another productive, successful day and my blood pressure is actually going down as I scramble up and down the ladders. Checked it yesterday and it was 105/72. YEA!


Thanks for keeping an eye on us.
