WOW, can just hear the crickets in here!

Well, I guess it's been a couple weeks, but here is where I am now.

Ivan stopped by the other day and took some pictures, while I was framing out the Vista roof. I now know why most guys use the older model roof with the metal panel between the glass pieces. These other roofs take a lot of work to make work. It's getting there though. Trimmed out the posts to fit in the support tubing.

Framing done. It's just tacked in at the moment, but it's really solid...

Did you notice the angle of the rear? The frame was so rotted, that when I was cutting off the quarters the frame just snapped..
