Tin going up!

We put most of the tin on the barn this weekend. We had a lot of help Bo,Phill Slate, Daddy, Nathan(my Brother), Jacob, Shane, Chris, and me. I guess the hard part was getting started and knowing where and how to lay the first piece ,that's where Phill helped out. once we got a system we were on a roll.

Phill also helped out with handy clamps to get it on the roof, Andy went and got some that night . We tied the clamps to ropes and clamped the tin one at each end (that was Brandy's idea) then pulled the tin up over the edge. We were so happy to get a whole side finished Saturday.Andy had to slide down the tin with a rope tied to him for the last piece, that's the picture of him laying down . Sunday Bo and Andy worked on the other side they did 9 sheets and a ridge cap I helped clamp the tin on the ground. I am just so thankful for every one's safety I will be so relieved when this roof is finished 16 feet is really high! Thanks again for all the help guys we could not do it without you!


As we were loading up we all stood around the little radio and listened to the TN vs AL game it was close Al. won they blocked the extra point I think. Nate and Bethany who live in Alabama both wore their TN shirts. They said they had to wait till they got to TN to stop and eat lunch on the way up here.
