Tune in tomorrow to see how well our alternative idea for a roof works out.

Thanks for another update on this. I am building the same thing but have not gotten to that point. I just have the shell done and have not put siding and roof on yet. Interested to see what you do for yours.

Shingles or roll roofing is easiest.
