During our morning constitutional, had a nice chat with Mike Many while Shlomo was playing chase with Mike’s dog, Mindy.  Mike has ordered the steel for the barn standing seam roof.  Hopefully the metal will arrive this week…  Finished trimming off the rafters whose level cuts were below the bottom of the outlooks.  Then painted flat black the middle 4″ of the outlooks and rafter level cuts in the middle 12′ on each side of the barn.  This is a trick that Perry taught me long ago: painted black where the soffit vents are installed, the rafters and outlooks become invisible when you look up through the vents.  Then put the final trim pieces on the bottom of the cupola.  Once again the Kubota’s forks were very handy, raising the cupola high enough for working comfortably underneath.
