Small Roofing jobs

Posted 7 months ago

We have two smallish jobs on two farms. One involves extending a small animal shelter - one of the kids ponies won't go in the shelter so we want to put some posts in around the existing shed with a roof on top and maybe 1 - 2 walls. Open to suggestions around this. The other job is putting some posts in and a roof on our existing bobby calf pen. Both jobs involve post work and roofing but both are small roofing jobs! Ideally both would be completed within the next month.
