The supplies come from whoever has the best price.
I've let the local "home hardware " put a package together with a quote,bought the rafters and lumber from them cause it was the cheapest and was delivered.
The tin comes from an outfit in BC,was $.56 a ft cheaper than H H.
The insulation and OSB sheating i got from a local farmsupply store last yr allready just because it was cheap.(1/2 price of what it is today).
The windows i got for a good deal from a outfit that had ordered the wrong size and where stuck with them.

Now i'm looking for a couple used overhead doors(might be tough to find)
 
Headers went up yesterday

Had a bit of wet wheather(5 1/2" rain) in the last week, holding up construction.
But today the last of the roof tin went up,and the rear wall was sheated in a couple days ago.

Matching roofs, (or rooves?) aren't we just prim and proper now... :D

Where are all the little brown horned creatures?
