The plans called for us to build a roof over the octagon on the east, but under the wing roof system. I decided long ago that was just plain stupid and wanted the roof to be above the wing roof. In order to do this we added another 9 feet to the octagon and ended up having another floor......now how cool is that.
Each wall was built on the floor and then setup in place to keep things safe......
Each panel was slid into place and it wasn't long before we had a new room.....
Time to add more scaffolding up here...we are 10 sections high....that is 65 feet to the bottom of the fifth floor.....but what a view.
Each day after I am done trading and had some lunch, it's off to the job site to make sure things are done the way I want them.....so that means.....you got it.....hang on baby it windy up here......ROTFL.
So they started to set the rafters for the octagon and the white stuff is actually snow from the last storm. You can also see snow cap mountains off in the distance......
Each piece is sent up, measured in place, sent back down so it can be notched and the angle cut on the ends.....then back up it goes....
Hand signals are the only way they can talk back and forth because of the noise from tools and the wind blowing in your ears at times......
Larry, Daryl and Daryl, the roofers, started working on their part of this project.....first thing was to use copper in the valleys and trim ends......then an ice guard after attaching a product that seals itself instead of that ugly tar paper.......what was when I learned that the tar paper all 43 rolls would be removed and thrown away.........now that was like trading without a stop being short and they found Bin Laden.........
