Prepping for cover over rear upper deck.

Rafters, posts, etc cut and painted. Ready to start preassembly after paint dries. Tomorrow.

Goal is be ready to assemble in place on Wed, wx permitting.

Got about as much done as I can without taking everything onsite and actually putting in place. Think I have a logical plan and Canada Dave agrees so tomorrow.

That's funny!!!! You just never realize how useful a tractor is until you have one.

So true, Eddie

How warm or hot is the water coming from your water tanks after setting in the sun (just curious)?

In the 80s I spent 6 months in south west asia and all our water was in tanks and if it was sunny it was hot, but Hawaii is not as hot.

I like your carport. :thumbsup:

That’s a tractor under there? I thought Jed Clampett had arrived.

Still need rails, but that will be later.
One more roof area, the transition over walkway between main lanai and carport.
