Yes Greg, it is a daunting task. I figure another 10 man days to finish if there isn't too much damaged wood underneath. All of the shakes are coming off since they are part of the reason the aluminum roofing failed. Most of the screws ended up in the soft cedar and didn't hold, so it pulled off in the wind. The new steel panels will be screwed directly to the roof boards.
The scaffold worked out really well. It has a U shaped channel along the back side for the ladders to sit in, so there is no need the tie them down. I'm going to re-design it a bit though to eliminate the sections of 2x6 that rest on the roof, because they get in the way of the new panels. I'm going to add some structure to make it free standing instead.
The front barn is next and will require two people working off ropes, since it's taller and has a steeper pitch than this one. The good thing is that all it needs is some new wood around the eaves. The steel can be screwed down over the existing roof.
