It's ok because almost no one knows where it is.

That’s about as remote as it gets in SW Alabama.

this is a new barn 90 degrees off and maybe 300 feet away. Probably shoulda put the second pic in the first position.

24. Only six rows to figure out how to do it without wrinkles by myself. I don't think I've seen anyone recommend installing peel and stick as you sheet rows. But working alone I think this is the way. Near impossible on a 5 or 6 12 roof. I was breaking the peel and stick in 30 foot strips. There's no other way except a ledger on the layer below, ain't happening for me.

Day 46 I believe. Last full sheet of roof + 9 inch. Soffit and fascia done. Only ridge left, raining today probably, so won't finish. I'll post ridge pics on the last day, while I get more material to finish grade over the summer.
Everyday the dog is beat, but not as much as me. I'll post a cost tracker when I'm done before concrete for 2025 southern US

Yes it dawns on me that my fork quick attach's are not locked down.
 
Work day 53, roof done, grading/waiting for rock before concrete estimate.
Left for a few weeks for work.
Started Feb 27. Anyone even thinking about doing this alone, don't. Unless you're
30 years old.

Finally got the floor poured. For reference all around MS and AL, concrete is 180 a yard. And finishing is 1.50 a foot. This is 2020 ft2. They dug and placed three drains off location 100ft outside. 10" trench for lift.
14000. All in. Two floor drains and one sink/shower.

Thanks you, that sprinkler is working well. I would probably cover it but I have black visqueen, I think too much heat soak.
Thanks for any advice.
