      Thanks John. The roof is all metal. I bought it from Home Depot. Some stores carry the material, some don't. I had to make some phone calls.

      It wasn't too hard to install. Just another skill set to learn . I found matching green screws that included green rubber washers. The screws are self-tapping wood screws but they worked fine connecting the metal roofing to the steel studs.

      I'm pretty pleased with the results.

        Thanks Dave!
        The pork was served warm on burger buns with pickles and Famous Dave's BBQ sauce. MMMMmmmm

          Watch out for CJim. If he hears that you used burger buns, you're going to get scolded!

                Buns baked in your oven!

                  Geez guys... I've had ONE major bake with my oven and now I'm supposed to be cookin' my own burger and tube steak buns??

                  I think homemade biscotti gives me a pass to get a few bags of Sam's Club buns. Besides, they were baked fresh in somebody's oven... in the past week or so...

                    lol

                    Good point!

                    And I must admit, I enjoy a fresh squishy hamburger bun with my BBQ too!

                      Ken,
                      I have been away. I just caught up on your progress. Looks fantastic! Great to hear how well it works- no suprise. Must be quite a relief to finally be done! Congradulations.

                        Assuming that the metal roofing material had to be cut, what did you use to cut it? Did it need to be cut in only one or in both dimensions?

                          I needed 4' panels, so I bought (3) 8' x 3' sheets. It cuts pretty easily with a Skil Jigsaw/Sabresaw with a sheet metal blade.

                            Just a wee bit more progress to report. I've spent the last 2-3 weeks finishing the metal roofing trim. This is miserable work without the help of one of those aluminum bending tools the siding pro's use. Home Depot rents one, but it looked like it was around 20' long. Too much for my pickup.

                            Here are the pics of the finished trim:

                              I built my decorative entry arch this week. Well, it's not exactly an arch . I used a form but the shape turned out more like a triangle than an arch.

                              I'm humbly reminded that slapping together firebricks is child's play compared to working with standard brick and mortar. I resisted the temptation to tear it out when it was done; too tired to do it again. Now it's sort of growing on me.

                              It needs an acid wash to perk up the color.

                                Looks awesome, Ken! Even better than your original Photoshop design.

                                Off-topic question: do you have any noticeable heat loss into the cement that butts up against the firebrick at the entryway?
