Yammer Dan Posted May 15, 2012 Author #776 Posted May 15, 2012 Got a good bit done today. Will start metal soon. Shell will be done soon.
Yammer Dan Posted May 17, 2012 Author #777 Posted May 17, 2012 Sheeting is all done. Underlayment shouldn't take long. Metal, Garage doors, Paint, more concrete. There ain't no end!!
FROG MAN Posted May 17, 2012 #778 Posted May 17, 2012 The Acessors office should be out to appraise that for a tax increase next year?
Yammer Dan Posted May 17, 2012 Author #779 Posted May 17, 2012 They did that Yesterday!!! They ain't gonna miss a chance.
Yammer Dan Posted May 18, 2012 Author #780 Posted May 18, 2012 Underlayment that replaces the old Black paper looks simple. Til you try to lay the stuff down in 50' chunks!!
Marcarl Posted May 18, 2012 #781 Posted May 18, 2012 You could have made a shorter garage, or lower the roof,,,, or moved to a different neighborhood.
Bob Myers Posted May 18, 2012 #782 Posted May 18, 2012 Got to take Warden and her Mom to Flea Market and dinner tomorrow. Sheeting should be finished Monday. It will take a while to screw everything down as well as I want. This thing is SOLID. Not sparing the screws. Even adding a few nails. Underlayment shouldn't take long and then it looks like I get to cut every piece of metal. Its about 2 inches too long.....:bang head: It might be a blessing in disguise. The metal will extend over the evestrough a little. Water will still drop into the trough, but perhaps snow and ice will slide right over it without ripping it off! My metal was 1 3/4 too long, before we cut we ask the metal/truss supplier why it was long. They claimed just what Trader said, so snow and ice will slide off over the gutter without ripping it down. With a 5" gutter there is still over 3" of clearance for the water to drop, if it is coming off the roof hard and fast enough to overshoot that then we have more problems than just gutter effectiveness!
Trader Posted May 18, 2012 #783 Posted May 18, 2012 Is that 1 3/4 too long when butted together at the peak or are you leaving a space for ventilation at the peak ? I would think the ideal would be only an inch or so of gutter being exposed ....but then it's not like I know what I'm talking about.
Bob Myers Posted May 18, 2012 #784 Posted May 18, 2012 Is that 1 3/4 too long when butted together at the peak or are you leaving a space for ventilation at the peak ? I would think the ideal would be only an inch or so of gutter being exposed ....but then it's not like I know what I'm talking about. And I know even less about this wood butchering stuff but,, the kit builder told us to leave a total of 2" on the ridge for air gap, from gable to gable. Had we closed it up to zero there would have been only 3/4" overhang. Since he sheeted his with OSB(why?) then he likely has no air gap at the ridge. Common practice there is to butt it up tight isn't it? When I built my Gamble roof garage 18 years ago that is what I was told to do, then cut vents in roof. I'm quite sure that neither of the methods I mention are actually code or common building practice, just did what I was told like a good little sheeple. I am illiterate when working with wood.
Yammer Dan Posted May 19, 2012 Author #785 Posted May 19, 2012 Not sure how metal will come out til I get underlayment down. Having trouble with handling it by myself. Can't keep in line. I think I can adjust metal to work but was wanting flush with overhang edge and drip edge.
Yammer Dan Posted May 20, 2012 Author #786 Posted May 20, 2012 10 min on roof 10 min in shade. That metal is going to be a morning and evening job.
Flyinfool Posted May 21, 2012 #788 Posted May 21, 2012 Wardens gonna fire you and hire someone else........
Venturous Randy Posted May 21, 2012 #790 Posted May 21, 2012 Miricles never cease to happen. Looking good Dan. RandyA
