Carport Rehab Continued

After tearing the old roof back all the way to the old eves, there was a lot of work still to be done. Part of the original house roof was replaced. Then a new header was installed. This all took most of a whole day to day. Yesterday, we figured out how to notch the beams with a bird's mouth at the end to increase the pitch of the roof. Once the beams were up, the perlins were cut and put up one by one. This took quite a\awhile because they had to be nailed on from the end. Today, we will put the metal roof on, instal flashing, and replace shingles that had to be removed.
