June 25: Lookout, Siding and Roofing

Cedar siding is complete on the south side, with lookout at the top of the gable end.

More than half of the metal roof is in place.
Skylights and remaining roof panels
are to be installed this week.


The lookout. Way up there.


We'll have a great view down the valley!

Finished siding wraps around to the porch on the west side.

From siding to roofing, there's lots of progress to share. The cedar board-on-batt siding and window trim is finished on the south side, and on most of the east side. More than half of the roof panels have been installed. It was no easy task securing the lookout rafter at the peak of the south gable end...high off the ground, Erik's harness was cinched up tight as he used a hammer drill to send 12" screws through the lookout, the siding, the SIP panel and into the king post.
