On Thurs. Sept. 4th Lester hauled the roof insulation to the site. We also had the roof rafters and the car decking for the ceiling and the tin for the roof delivered that day.

The insulation we used was P2000. We put two layers of 1" thick 4x8 sheets on. That gave us an R54 rating. 

We bought the rafters from Kuhn Brothers Lumber. They were 24' long, white pine, rough sawn, kiln dried 4x12 rafters.   

For our ceiling we will use yellow pine, 2x8 tongue and groove car decking.

Lester was not sure if he wanted to tackle the roof by himself or get some help. We wanted to have it under roof before the winter weather arrived.  Since we are getting busy at the stove shop it is more difficult for Lester to get time off to work on the cabin. So Lester got an amish crew from our area to do the roof.

Monday morning Sept. 8th., Lester met them at our land and they started putting on the rafters. Tues. morn. it was raining so they all headed home. 

Weds. through Friday they went back up again but Lester was not able to go along. 

They finished the roof on Friday in the rain.  I know I would not want to be on a metal roof while it was raining.
