I thought it would be nice to post up some updated pics of my summer project. The blistering midwest heat has been killing us on weekends but still making progress. It seems to go pretty slow when you do all the dirt work, excavation, demolition, concrete and framing. Going to hire the roofing and siding out since I just cant stand to doo that.

It is staying down but the pump still runs about every 15 minutes. I bought a good cast iron pump and it took a crap already. I will get good use of the LIFETIME warranty on that one

Damn, is that a 13 or 14 pitch. Need to be a mountian climber to sheet and shingle that thing!
I hate anything over a 12. Did a 15pitch once on the front side of an overgrown Cape Cod....scary.
Looks good though. Why steeper than the house gables? Doesn't match.
