Moving along with the decking.  Solo again this weekend.  I'm trying to get it dried in but just can't get it done in a day.  Good thing is there hasn't been much (really no) rain.  Victoria's kid were with us this weekend.  They came down from Charlotte.

 

My two helpers taking a break on the roof. Blake left and Brady right.  It's a fun spot with the breeze that's always around.
A little more shape with the decking up the front.
Next time I say I want a 10/12 roof somebody stop me!!  It's even steeper than it looks.  It's 20' from the ridge to the slab.
The sales staff taking a break.  Morgan left and Abigail right.  Morgan will take you on a tour of her cactus trail. 
Slow work when flying solo.  We quit a little early to get back to Houston.  One more strip of decking at the top, cut the overhang, a little fascia, tar paper and the roof is done for a while.  After 30# felt I'll roof it when it's cooler.  We'll then build the upstairs outside walls and put up some hardiplank.
