Wow, AP...you put alot of nice work into the interior. All knotty pine, right?
We kicked around the balcony and deck thing in a few of the earlier posts. For my use, application, and overall look, it's probably not part of the plan.
I want to know more about your project. Did you do it all yourself? Is it a footer foundation with a slab?...or just a slab with thickened perimeter? I'm interested in the metal roof, too. It looks like your gable is slightly swept at an angle as it reaches up to the peak...correct? When you applied the rake trim to cover the gable corner (intersection of the roof and the gable fascia), did you have issues getting the rake pc to seal tightly on the roof surface as it rode over the top of a roof panel ridge?
