A job we started a few weeks ago.

I guess the seam on seam comes back to good enough -- i think it is good enough just so lon as all seams are not like that - could be just getting around the skylight with one piece saving time?

We normally start decking at the bottom eave then fill the cut or "rip" at the peak -- Could be that he is carring up plywoods over the peak?

Also what's up with the hard hats on the roof? Something going to drop from the sky? I guess itas a good habit to be in up and down the ladder anyhow -- Never wore them myself.

I have some photos here just in case ya'll want to let me know something;)

We worked our way down from the peak because of the skylights. We could only do one side at a time and it worked for us that way. The OSB worked out that way because of the skylight. We also had to build the vented soffit at the bottom and we added the rafters and OSB there. It works either way. We always wear hardhats. Going up and down like we have to it is a good habit to get into. Always wear some kind of hat anyway!

Taking more pics this week and will be posting them on the weekend!

If you look, the lines are for 16" centers and for 24" centers going both directions. It is convienent when you lay everything out. It would be a bitch to switch to metric with all of the old houdes. You would have to cut the ends ov erything to make it fit. Wow!

We made some progress. Shingles on and more siding.

Too damn cold to work this week up here. Brrr.

Same here -0's this morning 5 degrees now

mid 60's...chilly for us too :laugh:

I don't think I saw anything I'd do different. We must think along the same lines.

You mean as far as the work we are doing or the fact that it is just too cold to work on it?

Snow and cold next week too. We will wait it out!

Shoot, we had a few days when we could have worked at midday without too much trouble, but it was always about single digits in the morning and that makes it hard to get anything going. Lots of ice on the roof too. It is snowing like crazy today and is supposed to all the rest of the day and part of tomorrow. We want to get back working, but I hate to waste time and money too. Winter work is certainly trying on a person; dangereous at times too. It is the 9th of Fedruary though and the winter is just about ready to break up here. Another couple of weeks and the average temprature will be above freezing for the day. It does get cold and snowy, but normally it will melt quickly and you can keep going.

When it is really hot is the best time to be working in the shade. Murphy's law says then when it is cold you will be working in the shade and vise versa. That seems to be the way of the trades.

Tried to go there today and checked it out. One inch of ice on everything and hard packed snow on top of that. I shoveled a bit along the bottom and left. If it gets above freezing if may clear a bit. We will try next week.

We do have to go and get some safety training next week for a job we have to do inside in about a month. A metal standing seam roof over a new bathroom inside a building. Just make it look pretty. Kind of like working on a facade inside a mall I guess. We will see.

Is that safety training how to avoid sunburn from light bulbs?

A lot of those large companies do that. Common sense things that you shouold know already, but you watch a video and listen to their safety people say it again and then you have to sign a form and acknowledge that you understand. I believe some of it is good and some of it is cya for the companies. I don't want anyone hurt, so we will take the whole crew and then go and have coffee and a safety meeting.
