No Snow Makes it Easier45 viewsThe wx has been weird. Last weekend we had a foot of snow by end of Sunday. Tuesday we had warmer weather. Wednesday we had another Nor'easter -- 100 mm's of rain... Yesterday when this pic was taken it was -7C or so with a wind chill as well.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

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

New Pine Clad Doors44 viewsNew doors, 1-1/2" rigid foam insulation in a 2" x 2" frame. 27" x 27" thermopane was supposed to go in, but all 3 recycled windows cracked. New 1/8" glass will have to do. $50.00 for 2 panes.. ouch!Rudi

Don't Hit the Shop Dummy!44 viewsI have to get as close as I can to the shop without digging up the rubber barrier or hitting the building. I was able to get within a couple inches on a couple passes. This one was close enough grading. I did get closer the day before when compacting.Rudi

Almost Done-0243 viewsWood Shop Doors. All the rubber foundation barrier is now down around the entire building. All joints, holes, and other imperfections in the 1/2 sheathing have been fixed. Rudi

New Doors on the Shop43 viewsNow that the snow is gone a bit, we took the tarp off to finish sheathing around the doors. This is just before we put the tarp back on. The doors need to be stained or finished clear.Rudi

|
North Wall43 viewsThis is the coldest wall, and also the wall with the most moisture damage from snow buildup and rain shedding onto the bottom of the wall. That is all being addressed by the 45 mil and thicker rubber dams that I am placing around the building. This will be a standard procedure now on all of my exterior structures.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
