Well, since we have a new site up and running. I will pick up were the thread on FB left off. For those who had not seen that thread, I am in the middle of replacing the shingle roof with steel roofing, I have the north side of the roof completed, I stripped the old roof off down to the rafters and installed girts to attach the roofing panels to. Installed the panels, new edge rake, and a temporary cap. Now I am waiting out the weather to strip the south side roof. It will get stripped down to the old flat roof, then rebuilt to improve headroom in the boiler room and tank room. More tomorrow. Dan.

Bunk, been hibernating for awhile. Too cold and too much snow to do anything outside. Temperatures hit 50°F here, today was in the 60's. Makes starting stuff a whole lot easier.  We are supposed to have some better weather coming up, in the next few weeks. Need to get stuff ready to strip the roof off the shop. Plus do OPP also. Dan.

Temperatures here are on the rollercoaster, it was 52°F here at 04:00, dropping to 37°F now. The next week's forecast calls for 50's down into the 20's but mainly 30's to 40's. With rain and some snow flurries, once we get by the rain I might start on the roof again. I do plan on taking the south roof off down to the original flat roof and rebuild it. Dan.

Working on an app for my phone to provide a hotspot for my laptop, so I can post more here. Right now it is very hard to type out a post of any length. Having trouble getting the phone to connect the laptop to the internet. Dan.

Having trouble getting the phone to connect the laptop to the internet. Dan. When I use my phone for hotspot it's just like logging into the WIFI at the house. Aaaah, that being the rub..... My phone will not connect to the laptop and allow traffic through to the net... I can transfer information back and forth via bluetooth and USB ports but not by WiFi.  Now the computer recognises the phone but I still cannot get it to connect to the net yet. Dan.

 Still scratching my head over the connection through my "smart"  phone to the net. Had it once but then it failed. No good weather for roof work for awhile now, I might get started on it again this weekend. We will see. Dan.

We are getting a rain / snow mix right now. But they are calling for an inch of acclumation tonight, with freezing rain possible. Been debating and researching bathroom remodel fixtures today. Not what I like to do.  Dan.

 Quest  Still going to use copper here, maybe a little pex, but not in the bathroom plumbing. Going to relocate water heater, to make it easier to connect solar water heating panel. It is 6' × 10', tube and shell heat exchanger, with 1" copper supply and return headers in the panel. Built it two years ago to heat a friends pool, while they waited for the gas well to be drilled. The well is in and producing, so they will not need it. Will have to get a different circulator pump, but they are buying that. It froze, he forgot to bring it in from the pool house. Might as well use it here Will use pex to pipe into the house for first year, to see if it works well enough to keep. No photos as it was a flog to get it built. Dan.

Weather and Forecast Dependant I am hoping to get started again on the roofing project this weekend. The south roof was extended out four feet to cover the fuel oil tank, this section of roof now covers the boiler room and fuel oil tank. When I built this roof, it followed the pitch of the existing roof. That made the door openings fairly short, I am going remove this roof, lift the beam, frame a new floor and then reframe the roof. I need to get a few pieces of lumber, yet. A couple 2 × 8's and a few 2 × 6's. The gable ends of the roof will be stripped and then girts installed and steel siding installed to enclose them. Hope the weather forecast holds.  Dan.

Little update on the shop. Had been working two part time jobs until June, then was hired full time as a maintenance man / custodian at a supermarket. Now that I have regular hours, and have caught up on my sleep, I have been getting little jobs out of the way so the bigger ones can start. I have been through three 18' × 18' silage covers on the south roof of the shop. The weather has been terrible here this last year for wind and rain. I have all but a few pieces of lumber to R&R the south roof on the shop. Those being T&G OSB for the floor over the boiler room, that section is currently part of the roofs slope. I might replace the old flat roof decking to the middle of the old flat floor as it does have it's problems. I plan / hope to start on the roof next week, as I need to get my stock of coal laid in this week. I have made the switch to anthracite coal for heating the house. It would have been a month sooner but the dealer sold out of the stove I wanted. Tear off and rebuild will probably take a week, as it is a much larger and more complicated project then the north roof was. Just a little update. Dan.
