Skinning the carport with tin

 Here is our work area for measuring, marking, and cutting the tin on the ground, in our opinion it is the safest way to do this.
 The back panels did not need any cutting so we were able to just put them up.
 Cutting around the windows is always tricky, alot of measuring and careful marking and cutting.
 When the wall needs two lengths to complete the coverage we placed the bottom sheet on first then placed the top sheet over the first. This way when rain hits the wall it will run smoothy and over all the sheets.
 One of the most important tools we have ever bought was the scaffolding. It is the most secure feeling to be 12 ft in the air on a solid surface.Here Richard is 6 ft in the air with the "walls" for added safety.

 Finishing the South side.
 We placed material under neath the feet of the scaffolding to protect the stained cement.
 Corner trim is put in place to give the building a finished look.
 This is how the building looks before the cap trim on the roof.
 We needed to cut the sheet metal that over hung the side of the roof so we could install the cap trim.
ALMOST DONE!!!
