Straw Bale Building Updates - Roof: Page 3

	The metal went up pretty well in one day. We had two guys on the ground handing it up to three people on the roof. We put 6 foot wide rolls of R-11 insulation that sit under the metal. The metal was 18 foot strips x 3 foot wide, screwed into the wood 2x4 perlins.
	We closed in the sides of the trusses with 1/2 blackboard. Eventually the stucco will cover the walls all the way up to the top of the blackboard. The eves will be closed in later with a thin wood paneling or similar material. (We haven't decided yet.)
	And here's big red with most of her 2,000 screws!!
	These are the rough window bucks that will be set into the walls when we start stacking the bales. They will be held into the walls by wooden dowels and/or nailed to nearby posts. An inner window frame will be added when the window is about to be put in.
