Yesterday, my cattle ranchers Matt and Jonathan, and I put a new roof on the cabin. It is a metal roof. I ordered the material last week from an Amish company in Colorado, and we picked up the materials two days ago  and brought it to the cabin. It took all day for the three of us to put on the roof. We were interrupted a couple times in the afternoon by thunderstorms. The metal became very slippery in the afternoon and we discovered  that there was a thin film of yellow pollen(?) that had dropped onto the surface. Since we no longer had traction on the metal, we tied a lariat to Matt as he walked the metal surface putting in screws. Here are some pictures. First, a couple pictures of the cabin with the old roof.

Here are a few shots putting on the new roof, including the necessary rope.

Here are a couple shots from this morning with the new roof on the cabin.

I still need to do some caulking on the chimney and the top of the front porch. Hopefully, this roof is good for twenty years or so.
