In preparation for our natural walls class (and after being rained on almost every day), it is time to raise the roof on this barn. First, we laid 1x18 material (from one of the trees we milled!) above the exposed rafter tails. This underside of the roof will be visible to the exterior, so we wanted it to look nice. Next, we laid 1x4 strapping along the rafters all the way up to the ridge.
Once our strapping was in place, we started hauling our corrugated metal roof panels up the slope of the structure and securing the panels to the strapping with coordinated green roofing screws (with neoprene gaskets). 
In two days we were able to install a roof that is green, albeit not a green roof.
