That will never happen. The Turd and his hands in my pockets isn't something I like. Too much red tape with staff, work for yourself and everything is pretty easy. If I need a helping hand, my wife helps and that still forgoes the WorkersComp and keeps the wages in the family. Try to work and keep government medaling to an absolute minimum.

Are boards needed on top of the paper ?
Well, I was told that in BC the building code says that the paper goes over top of the wood. That doesn't make any sense to me. The wood is for the bolts that hold on the metal siding, FYI. I am doing this building the old way with the boards on top of the paper/synthetic. It worked for years and for to put the paper on top of the boards would end up one hell of a mess because sure as hell one will misstep and tear the paper many times.

Flapjack, stick to what you do and forget about mingling into things you know nothing about!!

Doug,
I am looking for a builder for a project in Sicamous.
I need someone to build me a sailboat? Or at least the sails and mast. I have a small 10 foot metal boat we can mount it on.
I was planning on outfitting it with solar panels and batteries that will then power up large fans to drive the sales.
Very short on cash, so would need a cheap.....well, almost free quote.
Thanks in advance....

I am trying to get Snopro to partner up with me as I would like to ensure it under his farm policy. Should be cheaper. JK!....LOL

On a side note:
Buetiful work buddy!
Nice to have some projects to do and stay busy.
Awaiting the finished project photoes.
Well done.

Hahaha..................first of all, quotes are free but are actually included in the hourly rate so they are like you said, "almost free"..
Second point, I'm sure snopro would go for that but it would be insure and not ensure.....................just had to throw that in there!!

Thirdly, thanks for the accolades and yes, it keeps me busy and I meet some very nice people while I'm at it.

The hot weather is a beotch on the roof. We got one side tinned early this morning along with one sheet on the other side. Too hot to do any more so we went to the beach. 10 minute drive from the property and what a beautiful spot!!

Oh, you could've said so ;)

That sucks because you can't walk on the tin
That's how most tin rooves are. One has to know that where the bolts are is where you put your feet. There is a DQ in Fernie that has a terribly dimpled metal roof. Someone must have not known where to walk. I used to think about it every time I went buy the place.

7 hours today and home at 3:00 pm. The truck thermometer was reading 40 degrees on the way home. Shower and some Corona gonna feel sooooo good!!

Got the metal on the roof today..............ridge cap and gable flashing still to go. Finished just as the sun was starting to hit the metal. Stripped the walls and they are ready for TyVek. Have to get the chainsaw out and cut holes for a large window and a set of sliding patio doors. Complete the framing with studding and a couple of headers.

Basically, yes. That is why maintenance is important and the bolts need to be snugged up every 5 years due to expansion and contraction from the temperatures.
I fell into the trap and put metal on our house in Elkford. I would never do it again. Changed it out after 17 years. A straight bungalow with no valleys (no dormers, no funny angles, or gables) has better success IMHO.

That's funny you mention that about your house, I was kicking around the idea of putting tin on my roof. Shingles are done, so I need to replace later this summer. Other than re-tightening the screws, what were some of the other cons of tin? ( apologies for the topic segway ).
