Adding a roof 4/28/12

Yesterday I bought lumber and corigated fiberglass to add a roof over the kitchen, so far so good. I did manage to burn my finger on a very hot screw. I will never buy the crap screws that I bought yesterday for the simple fact that the quality is lacking and strip out as you try and screw them in. I had issues while putting it al together though. First thing that happened was oje of the walls I was re-attaching which is made of a tarp, collapsed and tore breaking the frame free of the house. Then my drill died which put work off for a while while we ran back to town to get another drill. After getting back home it decided to rain pour on me while I finished constructing the roof. It now also has a skylite due to the corrigated fiberglass.. I also covered the plywood with viso-elastic coating and will be adding a second coat when i get home today...

I didn't get any pictures because I didn't think to have Sandi take pictures.

Thanks for reading

Trying to get preppers together in the vern 4.9.12

Im working towards trying to gather people together in the mt Vernon Illinois area, we all need to pull together and share ideas and techniques ... I know alot of things that I am willing to share but some thinks I do not know anything about.. we need to have a network locally that we can start so that we know what all we can do to pull together if need be. Knowledge is power and we knowing is half the battle....
