Do-It-Yourself Project #3 - Rocky's Rambler

Before and After

This is Rocky's Place. He used 16" Skyline in Cool Everglade. It really gave his house a nice clean look and the weight of the color grounds the otherwise light building. He did it all on his own and really did a nice job in all areas, including the valleys, which can be one of the harder parts of installing a metal roof. Nice job Rocky (and I think his little grandson may have even helped out!)

Bye Bye Birdies

We came back from the holiday weekend and the nest was empty. One of the little fellas hung out on a branch for most of the day, but by the close of business, he too was gone. We enjoyed watching them go from egg to robin, and are grateful for their successful flight into the future. Spring has officially sprung!

Feeding Time!

We taped the bird babies for about 1 and a half hours to come up with some sweet video of them hunkered down in their nest. Sterling came and fed them a couple of times. They are growing so fast....we will try and get them taking off.

Three's A Crowd!

These babies are growing fast! They have filled up their nest now and are finally lifting their heads and making some noise. Sterling (the momma) is not real happy with the paparazzi, and in fact, she is beginning to speak her mind when we come near. We are still trying to keep our invasions to a minimum, but they really are fun to look at. We are going to video them in a few days when they start feeding more, and will post the video asap.

Baby Bird Picture

Here is our new bundles of joy. Three little cuties, and if you look closely and to the right you will see one little yellow beak.

Welcome Baby Birds!

Sterling (our resident Robin) is the proud momma of the cutest little fuzz balls. They look newly hatched and are staying in a little group huddled together.

MRSI Showroom in Fife

This is our showroom, located at 712 54th Avenue East, Fife, Washington, 98424. We are open from 8am to 5pm, Monday thru Friday, and welcome everyone interested in metal roofing and siding. Our showroom has samples of the most popular panels for this area, as well as brochures, color charts and information sheets on most panels sold in the Pacific Northwest. Estimators are here to talk with you about your specific project and needs. We can discuss the design, best products and installation whether you want us to do the work or you want to do it yourself.

Hog Ridin' Ron at the Taste Washington

This is Rancher Ron (one of our devoted followers - of which we now have 5!) sitting on Jerry's hog at the Taste Washington. Ron is an awesome radio celebrity from 710 Kiro and you can hear him with Don from 3 to 7 every weekday - you know...The Ron and Don Show! Ron is an official member of our family every since we put a metal roof on his farm house last year (which reminds me...respond to pig roast evite).

Jerry and Haley hosted a Metal Roof Specialties booth at the Taste Washington on April 5th. Over 200 wineries and 60 restaurants shared their best with those who attended.

Joe's A Daddy!

Baby Landon has been added to our team. Born last Thursday, he joins his baby sister Payton and proud parents Joe and Leslie (Joe is one of our crew members) to make a cute and happy family!

No New Eggs

Quick check this morning while Sterling was away, and there are no new eggs to report, so based on information I have read on Robin's, I think she is done laying.

Do-It-Yourself Project #2 - Steve's Barn Bonanza!

This is Steve's barn, and he did an amazing job using 16" Weathered Copper Skyline. He originally put the roof on in 1998, then had a tree go through it in December 06, which made for the perfect opportunity to put in a dormer. So he cut out a section (top picture), built the dormer and roofed that in the same material. The repair element made it a little difficult, but Steve managed to flash around the new dormer making it look like it was there all along. This truly is one of the best looking barns we have seen! Kudos Steve and thanks for sharing this project with us.
