porch roof extention

 Lumber is more expensive than it use to be. This little bit was $150, but it was what I needed to extend the porch roof to cover the ramp. It was no fun walking up the ramp while it was raining. Much like walking through a waterfall, but with clothes on.
 I put up the outside supports first. The truck made a handy workbench for a lot of the project.
 Then came the header and rafters. Heather helped put up the header. I needed an extra set of hands to hold the other end of the boards
She also helped with the sheeting and the roofing. It got dark before we finished it, so I had to finish up today. Naturally, it rained most of the day. I got out in between the showers to finish it up. I still got quite wet.
