Looks good!!  I bet you are a tired guy or you will be before you get it all done.  I built a line shack last year about this time ad I was tired before and after I got it done.  Lol  I did everything myself with no help so it was up and down and back and forth a lot. 
 Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

I worked with my Dad as a young man who was a contractor, went into a factory job as an apprentice mold maker, still helped Dad for extra side income. I could not do what you are doing Bruce, even though I know how, way too much for me at age 70. Nice job on the roof, all in your head or did you draw it up first?
