Have to pick up some more perlings in the am as well as a high temp heat shield boot so it can get it done by end of day Friday.

Got the metal up on the outdoor cat area and finished the roofing sheets. Due to breaker issue i had to hand nail the 2nd half of the roof and lemme tell you, it was 85° and humid, got out the truck and 5 mins later, I was soaked.
Anyways, delivery tomorrow, get the snow & ice shield up 1st thing and step flashing, then work on perlings etc. I really hope it doesnt decide to rain tonight before I get roof covered.

Couple more sheets of plywood to do tomorrow. Wednesday all my metal and materials arrives by 8am, so I can get the drip edge up and snow & ice shield on and perlings. Tomorrow, also picking up roofing for cat house, so that'll get some metal roofing to match the covered decks roof. Deck is getting painted i was informed today. Id stain it personally but costs is the factor.

Rafters are up, hardware installed. Monday, blocking, facia, shear, snow & ice shield and perlings. I could've done blocking today, but I am beat. All week its just been me, jigged all the rafters, cut em and put them up between yesterday and today, in between the rain.
I Was able to get to Alpine Roofing this afternoon to get the metal and accessories ordered. Should be on site by Wednesday of upcoming week, which means by end of next week roof should be completed.
Ready for the weekend for sure.

Little progress. Made a small mistake and cut the posts to short, had to buy new ones and correct my mistake. Learning the whats and what not with manufactured homes more and more.
This morning, pulled 4 railings, pulled the 3 incorrect posts, put in new 12' posts, got railings back up and then got my rafter template made. Cut 4 rafters (5 including template). Got the 4x10x20 beam back up, solo, braced posts/beam. Spent some time and finally got things looking good. I got 2 rafters up and squared. Tomorrow, install 2x6s on roof to catch rafters, cut the remaining 12 rafters, get them up, shear up and snow & ice shield then head to Alpine to get my order in.

I got the requested outdoor Kitty Mansion framed out today, tomorrow I gotta slap on the fascia build door for it, throw wheels on it so it can be moved if needed then I can get the fencing on it and plastic roof panels on. Crazy, even the kitty kitty's get to enjoy the view from the deck lol.

With the weather being unpredictable, I decided to bang this out vs doing rafters solo today. Next clear day supposedly is Monday so Monday it is.
