The roof was successfully completed, and seems to be doing what I had hope it would! We had a heat wave with several days in the 90's, but the chapel maintained an inside temperature of about 65, sometimes going a few degrees higher. After several hot days, it did go up to about 72 at one point. I can live with that! I do have to open windows and use fans at night to pump cooler air in and warmer air out, but I enjoy having that flexibility. It's nice to open the windows and let the fresh air in. I can't do that when I have the air conditioner in the window.
As my husband always says of his handiwork, "it's not perfect". Sure, I may have preferred "perfect", but this is an improvement, and it is functional, and it was a labor of love. (And the price was right. Lol!)
For the sake of comparison, here are a few "before" photos:
And here are the "after" shots:
As an afterthought, we added these panels on the back to provide more shade; yeah, they look like an afterthought, but they are very effective!
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
