Deck posts, and more roofing

Things are progressing.   The roof is about 75% sheeted.  and all 6 of the deck posts are set.   The posts are stained with Cabots Australian Timber Oil ( Mahogany Flame ).  We did the staining over the weekend  I'm curious to see how well it holds up to the weather.  The ends are treated with a copper naphthenate spray to prevent decay.

Tomorrow the roof covering and front deck framing should wrap up.  Decking won't be installed until closer to the end to prevent it from getting damaged.  A couple sheets of OSB will serve as temporary decking.

Here are the latest pics.

Deck ledger, and posts connected to the piers, left beam has just been set.

View from other side.   You can see that the roof still needs to be closed up too
