Looks fantastic!
Wish i could send my stuff to him.
The local upholsterer has taken seriously ill. She’s such a nice lady, and they figure its some form of aggressive cancer. Her husband was by the other day,docs have no clue what to do.
That sucks. Damn cancer. Joel likes little projects like this. It gives his mind a rest when he is doing all the creative stuff.
This one is just about done. I only took 2 photos.
Got a rough estimate for the metal roof, ridge cap, endcaps, seals and screws for the house and porch. $1,730.00-$1,800.00 including taxes.
Our roof estimate was $75,000.. LOL
Ouch!
Well, it's pretty involved. Tht also includes facia, 6"gutter and downspouts, New OSB sheathing, rebuilding the brackets and outboard rafters and covering them with sheet metal, amd reflashing the chimneys.
I still have to buy furing strips. Also doing the work myself with 2 guys helping.

Ok, I was going to say WAY too cheap. But materials only..
Your seats look great. I like his work!! My buddy is almost done with a 39 Ford, same color Joel's working on.

Is the rich peoples garden thingy still there?
He will be gone Thurs, and Friday of this week but you can call him whenever. I let him know.

Did he make the cover, or just install?
No but believe it or not the concrete still is. The oak tree on the left will come down this Friday. It has developed a huge split down the middle. Sad to see a 100 year oak come down.
Is the split between branches? In the saddle? I poured concrete in the split before and saved a real old tree. Got another 20 years out of it....still standing when I sold the place... wrap the area with shrink wrap, real good, then pour the concrete. Let it set, remove the wrap....

In the saddle.
Could bolt it back together with a 10' drill bit and a 10 horse drill.
Just install. Legendary. We were talking about that yesterday. He can make them but not for as cheap as Legendary does. He's a dealer.
Furring strips usually better for the long run than ply or OSB.
Was a mistake on my house letting them put ply over the roofing boards. I should have gone with my instinct and training.
I'm sure you've seen trees cabled. Sometimes it works.
