Jim headed out to the site to do roof details. He finished up all the screws in the new sheathing we were working on, put the rest of the caps on the front roof section, and then actually did some delicate surgery on the underlayment over the valley rafter. Because of the two different pitches, he just wasn't happy with the way the membrane fit. So he carefully cut the membrane out of the middle, which took quite awhile.
After lunch, it was back to installing membrane and titanium underlayment. Again for this section of roof, Jim wanted to use the membrane on both sides and the titanium over top.
To make the valley membrane lay flatter, Jim used smaller pieces and was much happier with the results.
Not too many pictures of the installation since I was inside cutting all the pieces for Jim. Here he is rappelling back down the roof after the last piece is put up.
It was back up to the top putting in all the cap staples on the titanium underlayment.
Last step was the drip edge along the outer edge so it's back up to the top carrying drip edge and stapler...
Last piece installed and this section of roof is now waterproof!
Jim must have rappelled up and down the roof 40 times today. By the time the sun set, he was really fatigued and the cold weather didn't help. He wanted to stay and make another rafter but I insisted that he come home and recover a bit. Another good day of progress in the books!
