Zep, that looks great!!
Well the winds yesterday bit me in the butt at the other house. I got a call from the neighbor at the other house as I was leaving to go there. An 18' x 24' section of metal roof from one of the out buildings was peeled up and laying on the ground (well mostly on the ground. There are 2-3 pieces still on the roof). So I will be putting my roofers hat on this coming Thursday and Friday to put it back on. It was an old roof, nailed, not screwed on. I am pretty sure I can re-use the metal, I will have to patch the old nail holes that I cannot re-use. I will have to replace a few of the boards, but all in all it could have been a LOT worse.
I'm going over there tomorrow at sunrise to climb up there and screw down the "new" edge of the roof because from 11- sunset tomorrow we are supposed to get the same winds that we had yesterday. I'll weigh down the metal that came off the roof so it doesn't go flying and get boogered up too, and add the metal that is laying on the roof to the pile on the ground.
I honestly don't know how old that metal roof is. The building has tree trunks that had the branches lopped off for the upright supports on the outer walls and center supports. The outer boards are roughly 8" shiplap boards. The building has remnants of knob and tube wiring in it. .
