Sealing openings for the shop

 One problem having overhangs on a metal building is the openings that he C-perlin creates when they are used for the roof structure. We solved this by capping the C-perlin with a Channel Perlin, which is a perlin that does not have a curve on it, so the channel fits over the C-perlin snugly.
 We measured and cut each channel perlin one at a time and fit it over the C-perlin, screwing them together.
 What a difference this made to give the building a finished look, now we will spray foam from the inside to seal it.

 The west wall on the north end..... we had to frame around the pole and the bar joist at the top as to make it an even plane to place the finish boards.
