Phase 4 – New Years Eve

2014-12-31roof

Dec 31 – Trusses for the garage and shop came up first thing this morning, but the truck and gooseneck trailer slid off the road. We had an “Arctic air mass” visit us and the temperature dropped. The road up the us was quite icy and the truck lost traction and slid back into the ditch. Thankfully, the truck bringing the roofing material came right after and after putting chains on, pulled him out.  This is a view of the second truck loading the shingles onto the upper roof.  -8 today.

The framers finished the wall and roof sheeting today! They are back on the 2nd to frame the garage and shop and then do the interior and back framing. The entry (behind the tree) is temporarily braced as I will do a post and beam in the spring.

Photo of the “tall wall” which required engineering and LVL beams and posts. The soffits are 3′ on the front and back and 18″ on the sides.

After 10 weeks of building, the walls are up and the roof is sheathed. The roofers have ice and water shield membrane on the upper two roofs, and are back on Jan 1 to shingle and finish the lower roof. All is looking good. Happy New Year to you from Mizuho and I.
