Ceiling for the porch

We decided to put a ceiling in the porch rather than leave the rafters exposed.

No more temporary storage shed!

We had so many building materials and nowhere to store them that Martin had put up a temporary storage shed between the property line and the driveway. Since he has used all of the metal roofing and built his workshop, he was able to empty out the shed and remove it.

Now we have a place to put all of the snow when we shovel the driveway.

Although, so far this year, we have had unseasonably warm temperatures and rain rather than snow.

Martin's workshop

 Martin's workshop is slowly coming together. Storage and shelving have been built and Martin's workbench is seeing a lot of use.

Roofing 100% done

The weather has held and Martin was able to work on finishing up the metal roof on both the mud room and the front porch.

 We are as set for winter as we can be. What a world of difference from two years ago when Martin was building exterior walls under tarps all winter long. Or from last winter, when the house was only covered in house wrap and the barn was being sided.
