The eternal roof....

More (slow) progress on the roof sheathing. All the big pieces are in place, so I can put the final rafter in place; several smaller pieces to be sized and cut.

For perspective, here's a picture of the whole cabin, way back in late September. (In current pictures, there are so many tarps on it that you'd think it was a giant tent!). Geez, it looks like all it needs is a roof. Henry David built his whole cabin in 3 months, and I haven't even gotten a roof done in that period!! :-(

I'm getting to the point where I have to decide just what to roof it with. Metal? Shingles? The good thing about shingles is that one of the neighbors has offered to do it for me. He's a builder, so he actually knows what he is doing. All he asks is that I help him(!) Mighty neighborly!!!
