Then this morning at about 8:00, Jim got a call from Albany Steel saying that they were at the property to drop off our steel! Jim had to scramble to get out to the property and unload. Pretty crazy since he just ordered it yesterday! But this is the angle that he'll use in the staircase.
Jim got started on more shingles on the front of the auto bay - including getting the angle right for the hip connection.
Time to start putting shingles over the copper valley area. This creates some challenges since Jim can't make connections in the copper so that there is no possibility of water issues. Also, for the first time we are going to have cut shingles exposed - all the other cuts will be covered by the hip shingles. Since a big feature of these shingles is that they are solid (the previous ones Jim worked with were honeycombed), once Jim makes a cut he can use his small grinder to rough up the exposed side and make it less of a harsh cut. It turned out really well.
The shingles are all done on the valley connection to the front roof!
Putting up the roof jacks and plank so Jim can work higher.
Building up...
Next challenge is the step flashing that will go up the wall connection. Jim had already cut some of these pieces to the right size, so the next step was to bend them in half.
I marked the halfway line on each of the pieces so that Jim could just bend them.
Trying out the first piece...
These pieces are nailed to the wall - there is no connection on the roof side.
The step flashing is sandwiched between the end shingles as you work your way up the wall...
Working up the wall with alternating shingles/step flashing...
End-of-the-day...a lot of the challenges have been worked out now, so tomorrow Jim can just continue on!
