Where are the roofers at.......



Where are those roofers at....where is the crane operator....where are the guys....is it lunch yet.....I love this picture because of where it's at and how we all lean over just a little bit.......


Yes, even in Tennessee we use string to make sure things are straight or level....image that....


With the octagon almost done, it was time to put ollies in everywhere to tighten it up......you can see the leveling strings all over the place....


Trim band goes on next as they are getting ready to sheet the octagon....


Talk about waste, an octagon is not the best place to try and save on plywood that comes in 4 by 8 sheets.......


But by the weekend, the octagon was ready for the roofers, which have already started on the main part of the house roof...


OK......IT'S ROOFIN TIME IN TENNESSEEeeeeeeeee....as the roofer begin to attach the copper flashing and the starter strips....


Roofers are a different breed......there is no way most of us would ever do this for a living....but then I know some traders that don't use stops.......so maybe


Because of the nature of the mountains, there will be a 750KW generator installed for a backup system to our electric. The generator is power by propane and kicks on once a week for 30 minutes to keep it ready to go when the time is needed.....so the gas guys are back for the two hundredth time.


Is there an elevator in this house? You got it, and next week they are coming to install the system and the first of April the elevator itself will be onsite.....
