Friday Evening, October 30th... What a Beautiful Evening...Love Those SHOTS!!
It's great to work and feel ok afterwards, so you can enjoy your progress. Today we decided I had rested enough to try performing a little work on the hospice gift shop. I haven't done anything but rest since the 28th when I got the shots. Well, we worked on the collar ties inside the roof so we had a horizontal ceiling in the center and angled on the outer ends...kind of like a barn roof. After setting all the collar ties, we moved to the purlings on the steep side of the roof. It is now ready for the steel roofing. Even after doing the collar ties and purlings, my knees and legs feel fine...something I haven't been able to say in a long, long time.
We were to go to Tannersville tomorrow to help our friend Jimmy, move a wood burner that is too small out of his house and help get a bigger one he purchased, moved back into the house and into position. Unfortunately, he was notified that his niece passed away and he called off the stove replacement tomorrow, so we'll have the entire day to work on the gift shop. We'll get the purlings on the front side and probably start the steel roofing. That's fine, because we want to get this puppy done. If we get the drip edge, roofing, end caps and ridge vent on, we will be ready to set the door and windows. I really don't care if we finish everything before our weekend help arrives. If so, we'll just visit and have fun. At least the brute will be finished! Below are some pictures of today's headway. We only worked from about twelve noon til about five this evening to accomplish this before going to Hollowbrook Farm Restaurant for a nice dinner. How nice.......
This side is ready for the steel roofing.....
The collar ties are now in place to form the ceiling too.....
Looking the other way at the ceiling....
This is the bundle of steel roofing, drip edge, end caps and vent cap.... ready to go on....
