Hey, guys. We started 8:00 this morning and it's like 1230 now. That is where I used to lose a lot of time when I did. Estimating is the time to go get materials and set up. So like this morning, we came and aired up tires and checked fluids and loaded scaffold and saw horses and ladders and walk boards, made sure we had all the screws we needed.

And then we went to the place to get the metal. We're going to put a roof between here, this carport and that mobile home. And so in order to do that span, I'm using two by tens. They literally, can have a dance floor up there when we get through and so away all this time to get here to the job, pick up wood at Lowes. Pick up the metal at metal central.

All that took four and a half hours. So that is where I use to lose a lot of time because I can figure out how much time it took me to do something. After a while. But I would forget about the time to go get the materials. So here we are, four and a half hours into the job and we're going to if you look up there, you'll see the one bys that we put a metal roof on this house and we're going to have to make sure that our two bys are up to the bottom of those one bys so that our metal can go over the top and underneath that metal.

So and then we're going to bolt 2x10s to this. because the only so here we go.

I did not show you all the stuff like I wanted to because I thought for sure we're going to have rain. If you pan around you'll see dark clouds, overcast, temperature drop 36 degrees feels like 40. It's 50 or 49 now with the wind blowing, I was worried it was going to rain and knock us off.

So it still might rain. I'm hoping to get the metal on. That's why I did not take you with every step of the way, because I want to slow this down even more. I like having you guys along. I just got to hurry sometimes. Anyway, I'll tell you how I did it. We took that gutter down and did not cut it off. I did not unscrew it either.

I folded it down, bent it over and we cut it about every two feet and fastened it with metal screws to the metal siding up here. And then when that was done, we took these 2x10s, which we could have done it with 2x8s, but I did it would just higher quality. And we put screws about every foot, three inch screws at an angle so that when we got up there we could hit the two by that’s at the top of that and of that roof.

Now there's a one by up there with the metal roofing. We stayed below that one by and we fastened every foot or more all the way down. We didn't do anything on the bottom and you'll see that. So come with me Where... You got those? We have that gap there. Now on the other side, this 2x10 here I do not want it to be level.

I don't want water stand on it. So what I did was I went from over there and I want to stay on the flat area, not on the curved area of this thing. So I set it up there. First, we were going to put... Drill holes and put bolts through it. I didn't like how that worked out.

So what we end up doing with this, I've got the screws in here somewhere, is buying screws that you use on a trailer beds, for putting metal or wood on top of the metal bed and that is a self tapping screw. phillips head drive. It was pain, but it did go in and it was hold to good. I've got two in every one of those.

So let me take a break. Get these guys roll and I'll show you guys some more stuff.
