Caution slippery when wet!

One thing is for sure, when it is raining or even there is dew on the grass you can put any thoughts about working on a steel roof out of your mind. They are really, really slippery!

Because of the difference in pitch angles of the two roof sections this time I thought it best to use a transition piece between them.

This was a good idea and made a good aesthetic break and seam between them. Replacing the board and bat siding on the knee wall was the worst part of this job. The steel roofing is very slippery and made it a challenge to say the least.

Just one more "bad boy" section to go and then this little project will be done.  Hopefully I will be able to flash around the solar hot water pipes with some split boots and not have to disconnect them. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.

Deck project done


With the railings on the Hodan Shades of Silver deck is ready for use. Good project for a good cause.



Finished the small garage roof as well. Now it is on to the other half of the main house and that should wrap up projects around the house for this year.
