Yammer Dan Posted March 31, 2012 Author #628 Posted March 31, 2012 No but Warden wants one. Might beat that weedeater in a lot of places.
Yammer Dan Posted March 31, 2012 Author #629 Posted March 31, 2012 Went out early this morning. Looked garage site over and thought of several things I could do. I'm still thinking. Sat is day off for most right?? Its been a rough week!!!
Keemez Posted April 2, 2012 #631 Posted April 2, 2012 Waiting on roof!!! So basically it should be finished in December?
Yammer Dan Posted April 2, 2012 Author #632 Posted April 2, 2012 So basically it should be finished in December? I'm shooting for November.....2015
Yammer Dan Posted April 3, 2012 Author #633 Posted April 3, 2012 I went today and got roof. I was looking at things and trying to cut corners here. Warden looked at me and said "Stop It" You want this thing RIGHT!! So thats what I got!!The building can fall down and this roof will probally stay right there!!! I love that woman!! Now if I can remember were everything I ordered goes I'll be OK. It will be done when I get all this togather. That is except for Paint, work benches,ceiling, shelves......
FROG MAN Posted April 3, 2012 #634 Posted April 3, 2012 Dan make it good and solid. If a bad storm is coming you need a good storm shelter to run to. Nothing brings peace of mind like a bomb shelter full of first gens. Just save enough room for you and the warden if needed.:cool10:

FROG MAN Posted April 3, 2012 #637 Posted April 3, 2012 I have seen my neighbor shagging A## out to his garage more then once. Something about a Tornado last time He was moving quick.
Yammer Dan Posted April 3, 2012 Author #638 Posted April 3, 2012 I'll just say "Honey since you are out here with nothing to do, here is a rag and some polish......
Yammer Dan Posted April 3, 2012 Author #641 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Gable end Rafters?? Can't remember what they are called. Sitting here trying to think thru roof before it gets here. I've dug it out of storage files (my head) and can remember most of what I need to do. Put down top plate and Sill sealer for trusses to sit on. Fasten to J-Bolts in block. Mark top plate for trusses to sit on. Sit trusses and plum. Use something to hold them til sheeting is put on. Try to remember how to build gable ends. Got 2x6s coming for gable end rafter. Probally could have done 2x4s? I knew this 45 yrs ago!! Place sheeting. 19/32 OSB How close does sheeting go to Ridge rafter? Put roofing underlay on next. Place Metal Roofing Place Ridge Cap Attach channel for soffit to block. Place soffit Fascia Board. Place Soffit. Drip edge. Or does Drip edge go on before metal? Probally forgot about a dozen steps!! Edited April 3, 2012 by Yammer Dan
Yammer Dan Posted April 6, 2012 Author #643 Posted April 6, 2012 Finishing up Top plate today. Trusses get here in the morning. Whose idea was this???
Yammer Dan Posted April 7, 2012 Author #646 Posted April 7, 2012 If your "Better Half" is as Great as my Warden is and she comes out to help you when you are doing something like laying the top plate to sit trusses on tell her she shouldn't stand on ladder to hold Treated 2x8s and when she drops 2x8 in place without making sure BOOB is not resting on top of block!!! I offered to kiss it and make it better!! That had to hurt!! Stopped her for at least two minutes!! I LOVE that LADY!!!
Yammer Dan Posted April 7, 2012 Author #647 Posted April 7, 2012 I now have 26 trusses, 40 sheets of OSB, 40 sheets of metal,Fascia, soffit, Drip edge, F channel, Synth underlayment, Ridge Cap,2x6s 16 ft and 12 ft,screws and nails scattered all over the place. I need a nap. You would think they would send somebody to help that kid unload!! I won't need a workout today. I've had mine!!!
Yammer Dan Posted April 7, 2012 Author #649 Posted April 7, 2012 Pics??Camera might be under those trusses!! Good place for it!!!:clap2:Some body might object if I post pics of the Warden's Boob!!
