Jens volunteered to paint the barn roof! He arrived before 7:00 am, and Jeff had already gotten a safety harness (plus reflective roof paint and brushes). By 8:00 am Jens had secured the D hooks on the rooftop and strapped himself into the harness - he finished the entire one side of the roof by 3:00!Also got more garden planted this morning:
- 42 bell pepper plants
- finished the pepper row and tomato row with cucumbers (marketfare)
- row next to the peppers starts with 1 pack of yellow straight neck zucchini
- about 4 oz of black zucchini
- 1 packet spaghetti squash
- about 1 teaspoon of acorn squash (saving the rest for late summer planting)
- next 1.5 rows = green beans: .5 lbs of Tema, .5 lbs of Slenderette
Worked a little on the herb garden, added mariegolds to the border, hoed and watered

What a nice barn! Make sure you repaint the roof regularly for decoration and protection. But before you paint it, check if there are leaks and unprotected openings that may cause leaks any other damages.

Great tips, Roslyn! I just want to add one: when painting a metal roof, don't forget to use sealant! Without it, the paint might just easily peel off. Make sure too, that you use the right kind of sealant for a specific paint. Lastly, it has different types of application so make some research first.

Metal roofs are great choice. They last a lot longer than regular roof, and they can even be permanent as long as you maintain it properly. I, too, have a tip: clean the roof before repainting it. The paint may come ineffective if the roof's surface is full of rust and dust.
