Dr. RX Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 To say I'm pi$$ed would be an understatement. I got a call from the truss people this morning telling me that they won't be able to deliver the trusses until Friday. That means that earliest that I could get an inspector to look at the place would be Monday. So, it looks like I'll be putting up the trusses and plywood this weekend and waiting until after it gets inspected to put the roofing on.

Dr. RX Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 OK, how about getting a crew together Saturday to set the trusses and put up the plywood?? Either call me or PM me if you can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 I understand the Ken is stealing (jk) all my help for some Subaru project on Saturday. Well If Zap can make it on Friday to help me set the trusses, I probably won't need the help on Saturday, heck I may even have time to come down and harrass, ooppss I mean help Ken.

Dr. RX Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hey Zap, if you're on the computer, the trusses are here, I'll call you in a little while, I don't like calling people so early in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Very Wet day today, but we still got a lot done. Zap came over and we actually managed to get all the trusses set and half a roof on. Zap is awesome with a hammer, just point him in a direction and stand back. Looks like weather isn't going cooperate, so It might not be until next Thursday or Friday (or both) before I take another day off to tackle finishing the roof. I need some rest, I'm been going at it since last Friday, I think Zap noticed how fatigued I was today. Zap, if Sunday dries out, I'll probably try to get at least the plywood up over the slanted wall so that I can get an idea of what angle to cut the roof edge at.

ezapar Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Me and that hammer are old friends. Here're a shot without plywood. I managed to cover the back half before I cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 looks good,to bad it's small to put in a lift or is it:brow: It would take a lift, but only up to 8 feet, not planning to put in a lift. Hey Zap, I didn't even notice that you took that. LOL Hey look in your nail bag, I think my snapline is hitch hiking a ride. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 Looking good guys, wish I could help :-\ I would love to see how fast Eric and I could put the shingles on I'd love to see that too, but I have to get the sheaving and roof plywood inspected first, and that may not happen until late this week. I go back to work on Monday, so my time will be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Look at Zap's picture, but think of it with all the plywood in place. I finished nailing the front side today, did the required nail every 7 inches, and cut most of the excess plywood off, just one corner left. I should be getting a call sometime tomorrow telling me when the roofing material will be delivered, but I still need to get the inspector there before I start putting that on. I'll call the inpsector and talk with him, but I'm sure he'll going to want it further along or complete before he'll inspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 OK, looks like Saturday the 14th will be the day I put the roofing on, if Zap and Turbone are available, I'd really appreciate that professional assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Man, I need to get that roof on, yesterday it was really raining, so I ran out to the garage to cover some stuff up, it was just as wet inside the garage as outside. Either of you got any hints on installing the composite shingles?? Rob, what about Sunday??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 If you put the tar paper up, it will hold off the rain for a year. It will definitely buy us time to get over there. Just put it on straight. GImme a call, I'll do what I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GImme a call, I'll do what I can. Straight??? In relation to what??? You've been on my roof. OK, I'll do that. If I remember correctly, I start at the lower part and go upward so the upper seam overlaps the lower paper, right?? Probably won't get the inspect out until Wednesday or Thursday, Friday I'll got an AM doctor's appointment (an old guy thing), so I probably won't feel like doing anything until Saturday at the earliest.

Dr. RX Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'll see what I can do Corky, but the wife is in the hospital again :-\Gee, that is where I will be on Friday, but only for a few hours. I like Eric's idea of just putting the paper down until we can get a better date, I'm pretty sure that is what I'm going to do this weekend (if I pass inspection).
