Walls

We got our forklift out on site to lift supplies up to roof level and it was very handy to have. The comment made by an experience concrete guy who helped us in the basement phase still held it's truth: "The better a job you do now on the foundation, the easier each step thereafter will be."

The aspenite roof sheets went on reasonably well and after we figured out how to put them on the best way, things went quite well. Our hired hammer's who had helped us will walls returned to do some more nailing for the roof. This step took a couple of days.

Shingling was just plain a lot of work. I cannot remember how many shingles went on but by the time we were done, we were sick of it. The days were also quite hot and so for the last couple of days we had to work early in the morning as in the afternoon sun the shingles were damaged from walking on them. We borrowed a roofing nail gun from Canadian Lumber and with one guy placing shingles and the other guy nailing them, we could move along and at a good pace. By the end of shingling, we had pulled many steel slivers out of our hands. I think one day one of my hands was down to 2 usable fingers because the others had non-extractable slivers.
