Nothing too scary around here today, unless you count Jim working up crazy high on the rafters again!
By the time I got to the site, Jim had the other dormer rafter plus two valley rafters built. He didn't want to build any more valley rafters until he was sure about the fit.
So the first thing we did was put up the last dormer rafter...
All of the rafters on the back of the house are now up!
Before we could start working in the front, we had to tear down the scaffolding...
...and rebuild it in the front.
Putting up the first valley rafter - it was a perfect fit!
Fastening down the second rafter...
Now that Jim knew the template was good, he built another rafter and we put it up into place.
Then built one more!
This was another really long rafter so it took some maneuvering to get it around all the steel in place now but we got it up and fastened down.
Jim already had the small rafter made for the other side, so now that the scaffolding is on the front side he installed that rafter too. Putting it into place...
...and getting it fastened down. Becoming very tight working quarters!
Then he made the other small rafter for the other side...finally, one that I can carry myself!
Then he got that installed...
Wow! That's a lot of steel! We have all the rafters up except one on this main part. We still have to work on the front dormer, but so far between the auto bay roof and this roof, Jim has put up over 75 rafters!
We finally got Jim's driver back from being repaired today in the mail - we are glad about that. The other one is working fine now but at least there's a spare in case it starts acting up again.
