Roofing Part II

Per-panel installation time today was fabulous; two of us completed the entire other straight run of panels in less than 3 hours. All that remains is the front portion (aka complicated parallelogram fanciness) and then the roof will be water, snow, and weather resistant (not to mention resistant to alien lasers from outer space).

In the following image, the finished Side 2 of the roof is illuminated by a victoriously lofted work light. The raised arm symbolizes victory over difficult odds (the early time of sunset) while the scattered light (there are billions of photons) represents the infiniteness of human potential (there are billions of people). Fine art photography at its finest.

We will not reveal that this picture was taken with a camera phone.


Special thanks is owed to our generous friend who delivered tubes of 100% silicone to our doorstep just in time for us to install the final two panels, completing our goal of installing all of the long panels before the end of the day. Additional thanks to the Talking Heads for providing our inspiring soundtrack. This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. This is a tiny house coming together little by little -- and with a nearly-completed roof, to boot!
