Roofing

Our time right now is spent working on the roof system. Dana and Leonard have been putting up the 2X8's which are the foundation of the roof system. After the 2X8's go hundreds of A35 clips (little brackets to hold the 2X8's down), then our recessed lighting fits down in between the 2X8's, followed by the insulation, plywood, tar paper and finally, shingles.


Here the guys are working on the shed dormer. We've got the 2X8's and all of the A35 clips finished on this dormer. This was the easy one...only a 4/12 pitch roof. All of the other sections of the roof will be much harder - the rest is all 10/12 pitch.
Here's Leonard and Dana working on one of the valleys. Lots of extra angles and cutting here.
Working on the master bedroom dormer.
One side of the dormer done! (No A35 clips yet though...we've still got to find a way to put those up without falling off the roof)

Putting up the facia on the north side of the house. Gotta love having a man-lift and Gradall to help! It makes things much easier!
