West Wall49 viewsA bitterly cold day up on that ladder. Sun is setting and the wind is getting stronger.Rudi

West Wall57 viewsThe West Wall is almost finished sheathing, just the peak of the gable left to sheath. These are the recycled 4'-0" x 10'-0" sheets of Douglas Fir that are from billboard sign faces. Already, the shop is about 10% warmer. The left over paper etc., will probably peel off over the winter.. and I will just have a bit of waste to pick up.Rudi

Champlain Street67 viewsSee that smudge above the snowbank just to the left of the pic? That be a a sedan pulling a trailer I think, kinda hard to tell with most of it hidden by 3 foot plus snow drifts.. Rudi

All The Trusses Are Up!45 viewsA bit of snow, it was a little warmer today, but now at about 1700 hrs or 5pm, the temp has dropped again from around 0 to -4C. Hopefully tomorrow more strapping will be up and we will have made the ladders and put up a few sheets on the roof..Rudi

|
Installing The First Few Rows Of Strapping39 viewsAlde is nailing up the first row of strapping onto the trusses. And yes he is my neighbour and for those of you who were at the original CubFest Northeast back in 2004, Alde was there with his son Gerry. Alde owns my Father-in-laws God-Father's 56 Cub that Jethro was a donor for.Rudi

Right After Coffee Break54 viewsWe put up the last 2 trusses. It is slowly coming together.

Just Before Coffee Break40 viewsManaged to get the rest of the trusses in place except for the last two. Ran out of pre-cut 22-1/2" Header Blocks. Go to Timmy's get warm, cut the last two and poof we will have em all up!
Not too shabby considering we started this afternoon at about 1345hrs or 1:45 PM.Rudi

All 16 Trusses On the Roof45 viewsAll of them are now nailed into place. On the West Gable, I just have to build the gable end box, gable end wall and ladders. Then, once that is sheathed in and the roof done, we should be weathertight pretty much.Rudi
|
|
Just About Done in time for Coffee.42 viewsWe started about 1:45PM and making good progress. Had to put a temp foot on the roof, but now all the trusses are level and just about finished. All that will be left will be adjusting for spacing as we go up the roof with the strapping before the sheathing goes on.Rudi

All 16 Trusses On the Roof40 viewsFinally, this is beginning to look like we might be closed in before Christmas.. Rudi

Hmmm.. a bit warmer today, but lookee.. snow39 viewsAlde and I are going to work on the roof today. It is a bit warmer than yesterday. We managed to get a few trusses up, but it was cold work -19 C with the Wind Chill, so putting up 5 trusses took a couple of hours. We hope to do better today.Rudi

|
How To Roof In The Snow38 viewsLooks like fun huh?? NOT! Baby, it is cold outside. Warmer today than yesteday, and the sun is out a bit..Rudi
|
|
Still got a ways to go!41 viewsI wish it hadn't snowed, but gotta go with what we got. Yesterday was difficult, hopefully today will be better.Rudi
|
|
South Wall51 viewsThis will be the warmest wall of them all. With an almost directly southern exposure, this area is warm even on the coldest days. With 80 square feet of thermopane, this should help keep the pole barn warm and almost warm enough to work without extra heat. You can see the pad I build with the Cat D2C the other day for storing my implements that do not fit inside the pole barn.
