Metal WorkshopWe were replacing the corrugated roof sheets with metal sheets 1mm thick purchased from the steel shop. The metal will be bent to form the apex of the roof. The metal needs to be cut to size as it is too thick to cut easily on site. dozerSep 28, 2011

Painting Decorative MetalThis is a shot of partially painted decorative metal. We had a couple of day laborers paint the metal and they actually did a good job. First the old metal was sanded and prepped and my favorite metal paint Glipton TOA 465 was applied. dozerSep 28, 2011
