cold steel...

The roof is coming together so quickly, I took the day off for some engineering to insure the that the progress will continue.

Happy Birthday to the best friend I have out here.  I am proud to know you (and your wife - my second best friend).  Here's to many more happy years for us all in the desert.  94,104,70,0 B

John, I must admit, I yearn to be able to live your way of life. The place is really looking great! Are you getting much energy from your windmills?

Thanks for this photo. It allows us to see the full perspective of the roof. I assume the center (24 ft.?) section will be for the clear material. I guess the two solid roofing sections on each end will help to keep the containers cool in the sun. That, and all that white paint. What a fine project you have created here!

I believe John took the wind generators down. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'm sure it's in the plans, but rain gutters will be needed soon. That much surface area and the height of that drop will dig a pretty good trench I imagine with water pouring off of the roof.

Absolutely beautiful! You put Frank Lloyd Wright and Paolo Soleri to shame ;-)

Can't wait to see what you are planning on growing....

Yessirreebob, Matt. You're right about the gutters. Rain pouring off that roof will dig a trench like you wouldn't believe. I'm assuming that John plans to catch that rain in containers at one end or tuther.

I am guessing the exposed edge of the purlins is for the water catchment device yet to be constructed. Correctomundo?
