Good looking roof Elevenpoint and looks like the one I have now.
Honestly though, I wish I hadn't done a shingle roof and had gone with metal. I despise getting on a roof ( I did it for decades as a general contractor), whether for a fear of heights, depth perception or vertigo. Each time is an hour for a five minute job, overcoming and pushing thru.
A metal roof likely would have been my last roof.
I've been working 7 days a week on other projects and here
I sleep here a lot with my pups and am here at least once a day
Would like to be farther along but work gets in the way
Overall I'm good with where I am so far.
I am assuming you decided to build on it. Did you decide to live there - or are you flipping it? And did you buy the 3 adjoining acres? If so, how much for 3 acres?
It's amazing how land in one place can sell so cheap, while elsewhere it is so expensive.
I'll be living here and not buying acreage next to me
I have my temporary kitchen sink in, I bought it as an assembly for 80 bucks
I'll be moving here soon
I had a building delivered this past week, I might have saved money but not much considering material prices. A place for some of my pups to stay while I am working although I take an hour for lunch and come home then
I'm off for at least the rest of the month.
Sleeted all day, we're having cold weather now down around zero into next week. Anyway I'm thrilled to be living here full time now, horses are here, pups too.
I'm off grid sort of, I do have water on a shared well, all appliances are propane and I run generator to do laundry in the evening.
The gas heat keeps it 68 in here on low as I'm well insulated. It's back to peace in my life which I didn't have for 2 years so it's like a new life.
Pups are crashed on the bed, cats on top of the dryer, I've got a big pot of chili simmering and I'm kicked back in a fat recliner drinking an ice cold beer from the outdoor refrigerator😋
