Just as the side yard drifts into full-shade, Siding and Window installation is complete. A Roof and Barn-Door to finish the structural work. Trim, Fascia Boards and Paint (Barn-Red with White trim) to complete the construction.
A tip worth noting: When hanging Hardie-Board, with Galvanized fasteners, its best to “Pre-Drill”
Sunday Plan; Breakfast in San Juan, by the beach .. A Lowes detour to load up with “Stuff”
Robbie home from her SCUBA Safari, chronicled some changes she sees around our ranch:….
Saturday: The soft breeze kept the heat at bay until High Noon .. Terry, Shin and I made an afternoon pilgrimage to a gun store, out in Riverside.. All of the California State required paperwork filed.. in 10 days I get to take possession of what I bought.
I picked up tools about’ 4:30, and finished off the Rafters and all but 3 bays of blocking
Sunday. a slow day, finished the; rafter blocking and hung a few sheets of siding.. Sean helped as Sara was on a Photo Shoot assignment. She made it back in time to catch us in action. I can only surmise as to what pictures will show up on “face$#^%*!&” book.
I’m flip – flopping on the door design. One piece Sliding Barn-Door, Double Carriage Doors. Weather too nice, late afternoon Tea-Time, perfect for some cerebral activity.
Approximately the same mass as a Neutron Star, “Hardie Board” Siding, the only way to go. Buy the best, buy once. I only hope my back agrees.
Trevor and Sean helped unload and stack:….
Friday, Vacation Day, Plumb and True, progress:….This pitch looks about right:…. 
3:00pm, short break .. then back to finish up the front wall
A long day winds down:….
