Day 29: We're Putting A Metal Roof On Our Off-Grid Straw Bale House!

Today we begin work installing our metal roof. With our metal sheets being 29 feet long, we definitely had a challenge ahead of us figuring out how to get the 15 panels on the roof. Luckily I had helped our neighbor #Handeemann with his metal roof and paid attention to the set up we used to get his panels up on his roof. Thanks Derek for the great idea. It made quick work of a difficult proposition!


Here's Handeemans video of his roof installation.
