    2 half days, doing ok. Quit by 11 or noon, much respect to people who work in this heat as a career.

    Day 3 I was cruising, overcast and nice breeze were my friends. Then I tweaked my back :mad:

    Yes for sure. Piers are ready for posts but my carpenter remains delayed. I'm impatient but the shade would have been nice to wait for.

    Back brace, paid helper, and stubborness made day 4 a big success. Need to grab a real saw and compactor to finish this part.

    Full confession, the entire roof has been done by a carpenter friend.... so not much DIY.

    I do plan to do the roof and ceiling/finishing touches if that counts.

    Great job. Looks really nice. Nothing wrong with getting help on some things. We had to do the same on our laundry room addition, cutting the eave off and getting rafters done was beyond me.
