Re: 70 Yr old couple building a barn (garage/workshop)
Have had some weather issues so have found some time to update the web site and to add some photos here on the forum.
This section will attempt to show how we will add the metal roof and flashing. Also how I will be able to do the siding and window trim between the two roofs. All this at over 100 degrees.
As always, there is more info and pics on the web site.

Above; Placing hooks and ropes at each post. These will hold various things but mostly me.
Above; Standing on Derrick and stapling up first roll of foil bubble foil.
Above; Staple at top.
Above; Trim bottom, this stuff is bright and hot.
Above; Adding weep strip and foam closure.
Above; Board with rug glued on bottom, clamped to fir strip. This will allow me to slide the top of the 10 foot metal across the foil without harm to the foil.
Above; Lin holding tin on ramps. Added two blocks to do this job on future sheets. Ramps were side supports that we saved. Note rope has been attached to top so that Lin can hold it up on roof while I get back to staging.
Above; Set of “hands” that go under sheet and over first fir strip. Gravity attachment. Holds sheet while I get rope undone from top.
Above; After tacking bottom in place, go to top and pull out the slide board.
Above; Second sheet of foil. Taping the seam with aluminum tape.
Above; 12 Feet done. Decided to do siding and trim at this time to minimize the walking across the metal.
Above; Making a new “sit” board. Heavy metal pipe to form rib humps was Lin’s idea. We found when we were doing the top roof that standing on the flat board put pressure on the metal that overlaps the previous sheet. When I got off the board the overlap would come back and on some areas it would leave a score mark in the paint. This was barley visible and only occurred on the last sheet on each side. However on this roof I will be up there a lot more and on all the sheets, so this should cure it.
Above; Here is how it looks on the roof.
Above; preparing first flashing 10 foot section.
Above; Profile vent strip. Used regular caulk to hold in place but takes too long to set so will use F-26 in the future and won’t have to use cloth strips or wait overnight. Blue tape to show where bottom of flashing will attach.
Above; Temporary shelve to hold left end of flashing as I slide it in place.
Above; Sliding it in place. Check out the white sneaks.
Above; Made it
Above; Adding the six inch membrane. This will go on under the window, down both sides and on both left and right at top of flashing.
Above; Lin staining the local grown cedar siding pieces. This dries much lighter. Lin loves to stain.
Above; first piece up.
Above; Also check out the Super Jumbo Tex on the right of the window.
Above; Siding without the window trim.
Above; Caulking the side of window.
Above; Window trim is western red cedar. Same stain.
Above; I also have to do windows. Might as well, may not get back here for awhile.
Above; This is how it all should look.
Above; Replaced the three center hooks with stainless steel. Decided to leave them up there and trim around them. They may be handy later on.
That's it for now, hope y'all enjoyed.
