The roof is about on


and for the at we have used salvaged tin ( or terne) roofing pulled off some old barn. Terne is a ot dipped sheet steel, origianlly lead coated, then zinc. The roofing on 10 was actually painted and doesn't have the rust marks the roofs on the other structures here do, but its a pretty close match.
The paint will wait until the roofs up and then the carpenters can focus on work insde. Its been cool and damp since mid-afternoon yesterday, but I expect they'll be back to finish up the roof today. then the HVAC will go in. I'm off to find a fine art metal restorer in fletcher NC called Brightwork. I suppose if the sun comes back out then I ought to see to spraying some of the weeds.
