    Probably get stained once it’s dry enough the structure is all treated lumber. I am going to put a rain gutter in the back for sure.

    Ha- your soil wouldn’t be rock hard if that roof was a convertible. But then you wouldn’t be dry…

    Well one sore back and a broken shovel later we got the hole dug out for the gravel base.. My friend brought his tractor over and helped to dig it up and break up the soil so we could move it. I moved two trailer loads this morning and have at least one more to go. I couldn’t be more happy we did the roof first! It’s so much better with shade…
