Our Steeple is up

Well, the rain has been unfortunate for haying, but it has been a huge blessing for house building. The thing that has been holding the house back has been finishing the bonus room above the garage and getting the roof up. Here the rafters are being put up.
The next day we got the steeple put up, as Grandpa would say. The roof on the garage has a 12X12 slope which is 45' angle. It was a big day putting the sheeting on, but it is finished now. Sorry, I didn`t have my camera with me to get the finished look.
Greg and Tim work well together, which is a huge blessing. Here they are puting the sheeting on the roof. Because of the slope they had to build ladders (that is what they are siting on) so they didn`t slip off the roof. Tims` family has helped out so much we appreciate them so much.
My job while they were on the roof was the runner - get whatever they wanted so they didn`t have to come off the roof. Here I was just enjoying the view from the roof.
