New slum shack roof being put to the test already.

Ok, the roof is on. Looks horrible. Slum shack style!

I'll have to spiffy that up a little, don't like it right now. Add facia, bend some steel around them, fix that one rafter that is lower because the recycled wood was thinner at one end and I forgot to shim it

Also my pop riveter is FUBAR so I couldn't rivet the sheets together where they're joined between rafters. Perhaps should've added slats, but that felt overkill for a firewood roof :)

But, the roof is on, wood can finally stay dry. That is happy news. Also, bunch of steel put to use instead of laying in a pile in the garden. And so far the only thing I paid for was screws.

Cascading Steel Sheets

Well, there's a roof. Not very nice. But better than cancer plates. Might give it a pressure wash before and some paint after (with etch primer to stick, not like that green one there).

Hunting for a roof in various piles of hoarder treasures.

The house roof scraps looked promising. A bunch of triangular offcuts from when the house got a new roof. But upon sorting them by shape, only two triangles matched to form a rectangle, the rest were unmatched sides. Not enough.

The next option was galvanized metal sheets. Not as nice, already used a few times, but there's a big pile in the garden that needed sorting anyways.

Ants got disturbed and carried their eggs to safety and a frog hopped away into the thicket.

One pile for the scrap metal dealer, one pile small pieces to keep and one pile large pieces to check into further.
