The Roof’s done

It took them about 3 hrs

Kent likes the Ducati shirt; thanks GW

Noon on Saturday we’re the only customers @ Rogers…

Sheer Inspection

Next we need Roof Jacks / Penetrations; then we’ll be ready for roofing.
The shade is NICE!

Luckily it missed the Bone

With the Nail gun in rapid-fire mode, as long the trigger is pulled it will shoot nails each time the nose of the nail gun is engaged; what happened to me is, I was nailing fireblocks between studs when the recoil of the nail that I fired bounced the nail gun off of the stud behind the gun and into my thumb.


I had Kent pull it out immediately

That is glue, not blood on the tip of the nail.






Major contributing factors:
Nailing a small block.
Awkward position.
Gun in Rapid-Fire Mode

Extra curricular activity

My favorite is about the size and shape of a concrete-truck-chute, and there are miles of crazy space in all directions cut through by illogical paths, all part of Cal-city’s grand plan of yester-decade

Roof Decking and Fascia 99% complete

That photo time stamp 5:18 pm; we’re wimps we called it a day (the lift photo time stamp is 10:38 am… the competitors will reduce that number to minutes instead of hours; along with my new hat comes the right to daily siesta’s LOL)

Forget Ballroom; think Hanger

This Landry, Kitchen, Great-room wall now gets balloon-framed… Kent’s idea.
This save the headache of furring, and makes it a stronger wall.

Only the knitting left

Can you say; Big and Dramatic?

House full of Roof

It is a 32 ft long section of roof being fabricated inside the house, which is 34 ft wide. When this last portion of the roof is lifted into place; 10 sheets of OSB knit the 2 main house roof sections together.

The mechanical section is behind Kent, the garage to his left. The garage gablits will set on about where Kent is standing tying in the house and garage roof lines; an additional 4 or 5 sheets of OSB that go on after the 3 lifts are set in place.

Mechanical Section / Lift

Kent is operating the crane, John has the Remote Balance Control, Dan is on the guide rope… it takes about 10 minutes from lift-off to landing
