I have my place sheathed, the metal roof will be on within 3 to 4 weeks. While I wait I would like to get my doors and windows in. Any issues doing this without a tight roof?

If it rains and / or weather hit the open framed structure it may create some warping in the lumber and "could" potentially cause some angst. I had my walls up for a while before the roof went on and endured some bad weather in the meantime, things did shift a bit as the lumber did warp & twist a little, even just the wood cupping created some "angst". IF you do put your windows & doors in, leave a little "slack" and do not seal them in with spray foam until everything is dried in and under control. Just my suggestion based on my exp.
