With only a small crew of volunteers, we made very good progress last Wednesday (the 22nd).
The scaffolding we erected on the front of the house worked so well, we decided to do the same on the south side.
With the scaffolding in place, we were able to complete the hip rafter (south-west corner of house). Shown above are Si Cartland and Jeff Fredericks cutting the rafter to correct length. Even with trusses, we never realized that a hip roof would be so much work. Especially with bump-outs on two sides. Another shot of the corner work with Dennis in the picture.
With the rafters in place, we were able to complete the sheathing of the main roof, finally!
While some were up on the roof, Tom and Dick were adding a 3/4″ piece to bottom of the sub-fascia.
The family, across the street from the build site, had two pug dogs. This is the family mentioned several months ago. Now they have seven pugs. This is one of them with owner. A couple more.
The last item we accomplished on Wednesday, was the the framing of the dormer on the east side of the roof. There will be a similar one on the west end of the roof.
A task list for Saturday (next work day) will be published after this posting.
