Medium Bronze, Seal Brown

Even roofs have fun color names: Medium Bronze, Seal Brown, take your pick -- that's what the color sample called the color of our metal (aka brown) roof material.
Tim Luce (Luce Brothers Roofing), took measurements a few weeks ago. Then the pieces were fabricated at a nearby metal fabrication shop. Here's Matt prepping a piece:

This type of roofing is called "standing seam". In the photo below, the right edge is secured with screws. The left edge of the adjoining piece hooks over this edge covering the screw holes. This creates a water tight seam.


Andy and Tim install the first panel:


Here, the ridge vent is being installed.


Tom patiently poses in the frigid cold: (yes, he's standing on the ridge; and, yes, it's quite windy. Don't try this at home!)


After a few days, the roof is finished:


They will return to finish the last few pieces after the chimney is up.
