Project 3 - Fix leak in creamery roof

In the creamery we are using one of the rooms for storage. I replaced all of the broken panes of glass in the windows, however there were two small leaks in the roof that went unnoticed until yesterday when it rained. Even though the roof of the creamery looked fairly new and in good shape. What we didn't realize was that the roof was only repaired on one side - the side visible from the house. The other side was never fixed and thus has many holes. Luckily the roof over our storage arean only had two small holes. A small piece of sheet metal and lots of caulk are our temporary fix until we get the roof replaced.
Here is my brother on the roof about to seal the hole:

  1. So how's the farmhouse now? It's quite exciting to be fixing an old historic property, especially since this had been built in the 1850's. It would be great if you can chronicle each stage of the renovation so we can see how the farmhouse is changing throughout each stage.
