The Bamboo kit arrived with 3 coats of Cetol sealer on it. Here’s the crew spraying the final coat.

Trim detail. Round things meeting other round things, attaching to flat things

3″ of insulation on top of the roof decking.

There are multiple angles on this roof and here’s the first course of the standing seam going down.

Standing seam, next angle started.

Standing seam, next section.

Roof complete (except for gutters, to be installed next week). I wish I could take pictures from the front, but my drone died and it’s uphill and hard to take pictures from the street.

I’ve finally filled the gap between the two work sheds to create a single roof that gives light but keeps out the rain.

Someone dumped a sink and faucet on the side of the road. I picked it up, cleaned it up and made an outdoor sink with it.

Some jazz carpentry hardware drawers, made from mostly scrap. I think I might have a scrap hoarding problem.

There was still a gap between the sheds (where the boots are) where the wind and weather can get in. I built a workbench over some inconveniently placed lava. It became a dumping ground and since Lala the hurricane was coming, I was strongly motivated to get the gap filled in.

Gap filled in time, plus a good tidy up.

Had to dig up a vetiver for a trench being dug to get water from the big house to the tank. I split it up and made about 3 dozen baby cuttings. They are now holding down the plywood that should keep the rain out of the dirt filled wheelbarrow.

Mexican sunflower hedge. Probably about 12′ tall. Weeds are vigorous and happy.

Backside of the sunflower hedge with more weeds and previous storm damage to my canopy frame.

Mysterious mushrooms growing under the Ohana.

First baby pineapple growing from a 4 year old cutting.

10 pound blocks holding down stuff that could fly in the storm…Batten the hatches! The blocks are made from scrap and are filled with the stainless steel bolt cutoffs from the house. Who needs a landfill?

Lala is coming!
