Day 12

We were initially going to build a gable roof, but after some thought and discussion we decided to build a lean to with crow's feet securing the rafters in place.  After some research and due to the ergonomics we decided on 3/12 pitch.  The 2x6x20s used were interesting to haul in my truck, but we made it work.  It literally sounded like a pipe organ driving down the road with the wood sailing high in the wind.  It was a long arduous day.  Not only the heavy lifting, but the measuring and cutting of the crow's feet  and studs, and then preparing for the rain.  It was a 15 hour barn burner.  I will remember fondly driving home around midnight with nothing open except a nefarious walmart.  We were starving.  There was a monstrous foot and a half chicken bacon ranch submarine sandwich, staring at us, for a criminal 4.99.   After buying a jar of jalapenos and a bottle of ranch dressing, we snarled down on one of the dirtiest and delicious subs we've ever experienced.
