The metal roof is now in place. This view shows the covered entry. The space for the covered entry was made available due to extending one container eight feet beyond the other two. This placement makes for a more interesting layout but increased the cost of the foundation and the truss placement. There are a number of things I learned that have increased the cost that could be avoided in the future to reduce cost. I will attempt to make a list of those items in a later post.
This view shows the opposite end of the house. To the left is an open space under roof to be used as a carport. Beyond this space is the screened porch. To the right of the open space and to the left of the center container is a small private porch which is accessed from the master bedroom. I do not plan to put any additional covering on the outside of the house. It will be painted a consistent color to blend it all together.
