The roof is so thin, it crushes very easily. I will likely do the other side differently, but I'd like to avoid uninstalling the lower roof that I already have in place. I think I am going to try to lay a 2x12 plank across it to disperse the weight. I had my son get up there to do something yesterday in a spot I couldn't reach and even with his light weight, it still crunched it in a couple spots. Is it possible to work on the upper roof back to front and from the inside? Hard to tell how much space you have between the rafters. Maybe a sheet of plywood would help protect the lower roof til the upper is complete. Just a thought. Lookin good, can't wait to see the finished project. Cheers
