Alrighty then!
Gable ends framed up and ready to go up tomorrow and then rafters and sheeting.

Man they got a lot more done after I left.

It’s kind of insane how fast they are.

11 AM and the roof is framed in.

What the hell...... they stop for coffee or something this morning. The way they're going, I figured they'd be handing you a bill already.....

Why do they not run the rafters all the way to each end?

Why do they not run the rafters all the way to each end?

The last rafter is used to pick up the end of the 2x4's that support the gable end overhang.
I have seen cases where the rafters ran to the end and the gable overhang is just attached to the 'face' of the last rafter but over time the overhang sags.

Should be all sheeted and weather barrier'ed by end of day ready for shingles tomorrow.

 

[DavidR8]

At the end of 3-1/2 days.
Fully framed roof, sheeted and waterproof. Fascia on. Gable door is on site and ready for installation.
Shingles tomorrow.
I could not be more pleased.

Very nice. Flat-roofed buildings always look so lego-ish. I just made up that term.

Mrs. Whydontu says it now has more architectural integrity. I think my word is better.

 

[DavidR8]

I agree.
At the end of the first day I said to the crew “Look we made a big shipping container!”

 

[Susquatch]

I never liked flat roofs. Prolly never will.

The new roof is definitely more pleasing to my eye while also solving numerous problems for you.

Happy happy!

 

[historicalarms]

Just hope you never need Secret Service Sniper protection now.

Time for an update.....

 

[DavidR8]

Time for an update.....

I’m away in Vancouver for the weekend but when we left on Friday afternoon they had 1/3 of the roof shingled.

 

[jorogi]

We won't mention the monsoon that moved through last night then.

 

[jcdammeyer]

Rain and Thunderstorm and Lightning.

 

[DavidR8]

Not at all worried as the roof was watertight on Thursday afternoon

 

[DavidR8]

Arrived home to discover that the entire roof was shingled on Friday including four vents.
