What's frustrating for us is we usually don't keep a large stock of it. Not to get too personal, but I'm at work/away from home 11 hours per day (9 hrs/day, 1 hr required lunch, 30 min drive each way), I don't use the home office very often So needless to say, we're pretty much out. My inlaws buy in bulk at costco and are going to drop off some rolls until everyone is back in stock.

I wish I could take a nap and have someone finish it up for me! My last big hurdle is getting the other half of the roof done. Then I get to phone in the shingles, electric, and doors. That still leaves the two man doors, siding, soffits, insulation and interior finishes. Ugh, and the landscaping... that will be a minimum of a month of weekends.

Thinking of going with metal siding on the ceiling to speed up installation. It will cost a lot more, but I won't have to install sheetrock, mud it all twice (ceiling is 1500 sf), sand it all twice, and it won't need a coat of primer and 2 coats of paint. Also, with as big a span as I'm running, my ceiling is structurally safe, but with the open span, my sheetrock is a lot more likely to crack and look like crap.

It's going to look a lot different by the end of May.
