Step 26 Roofing time

Time to lay the roof deck.  This is 5/8 OSB, rated for roofing. It was about $8 a sheet.

I also bought (3) 10-foot sections of drip edge at Lowe's, for about $7.50.

If I waited around long enough, I could have gotten them for free off craigslist, I'm sure, but I was pretty happy with the very low amount of cash I'd had to spend.

If you look in the front door, you can see that the back wall is not pallet lumber.  I ran out by this point and ended up using some very nice 1x10 boards my father-in law dug up at his place.  They were shelves, 20 years ago.  He has stored them under his porch, along with some vintage, turn of the century 6" mouldings, but he didn't forget about them. 

If you look at the rough door opening, you'll see that the left edge is very narrow (see note).  This was probably the biggest framing mistake I made.  Because it was so narrow, I had to rip the beautiful 6" moulding down to 4", plus I had to shiplap behind it with tiny little pieces of siding.  I should have framed the door out at least 8" from the corner.
