Roofing

I ordered the roofing materials to the exact length I needed. The 4/12 roof needed sheets that were just under 5 feet long, while the 10/12 roof required sheets just over 5 feet. Drip edges were first installed at the bottom edges.Then the sheets were installed, starting at the back. The sheets were screwed down and sealed using butyl tape.

Then the ridge cap and gable ends were installed.

The metal is slippery. I could reach all but the bottom row of screws with no trouble from the ridge. The lower row of screws required the scaffold or ladder. The steeper roof, though, was a bit more of a problem. I made a 2x4 el frame that fit over the ridge and provided good support for me and my tools while working on that section. Not my favorite thing to do.
