A Quick re-design


No photo today, not much to show.
Spent most of today on the computer redesigning the North and West walls, at my Dad's observation that the view would be better if we made the entrance on the North side and put a view window into the West window. So, the re-designed North wall is all that got started today, and not finished enough to stand it up. Finished the last of the deck and ran a bead of caulk in all seams.
Also we had to order the metal roofing today in order to have it on hand for this weekend, and the process of detailing the roof to get the exact measurements took a couple of hours this morning. Hopefully I've ordered the right stuff. Made another design decision to make the eaves vertical rather than square for the sake of hanging future rain gutters. Included in the order enough accessory metal (trim around the gable and eaves, and ridge cover) pipe boots, sealant, and fasteners to tie it all down. Putting the order together took another 2 hours to figure out what was needed and how much. Fabral, the metal roof manufacturer, appears to make a good product but their installation guide could use a bit more editorial polishing.
Cooler today, only 89 max, and a few actual sprinkles of rain.
