Will you still be carrying OSB up the ladder yet when the snow flies again????

[Yammer Dan]

Must have got me fired up!! I got more done on Garage than I have for a while in one day. Its hard to believe how much scrambling around and up and down a ladder this involves. Crippled old man ain't supposed to do this. Good thing I'm not one.....

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:

So Dan, here's a question that hasn't yet been asked. Or if it has, it was eons ago and I'm not searching thru 763 posts to find it...

 

Will each Venture have its own cell? Will the windows have bars on them?

[Yammer Dan]

Bars to keep those 2nd Genners from stealing them.....

[Yammer Dan]

Took Day Off!!

You don't have anything to worry about scrap plastic isn't worth squat.

I ain't had coffee yet!!!

I told ya...........

[Lil Venturous]

If your metal is 2 inches to long you could maybe add another gutter board, building it out another inch and a half with that?

[Trader]

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!

[Yammer Dan]

Being kind of Anal with it. Not building it for somebody else...

[Yammer Dan]

One piece of OSB board left today and it started pouring the rain!! Afraid I might Melt!!

It is getting close to looking like a roof!! Yeah Yeah I know.... I can see it fine!!

[Yammer Dan]

Raining this morning so I went back to bed. Just got up. Ain't retirement FUN?? At least I won't have to take a nap today!!Always planning ahead!!

[Yammer Dan]

Got a good bit done today. Will start metal soon. Shell will be done soon.

[Yammer Dan]

Sheeting is all done. Underlayment shouldn't take long. Metal, Garage doors, Paint, more concrete. There ain't no end!!

[FROG MAN]

The Acessors office should be out to appraise that for a tax increase next year?

[Yammer Dan]

They did that Yesterday!!! They ain't gonna miss a chance.

[Yammer Dan]

Underlayment that replaces the old Black paper looks simple. Til you try to lay the stuff down in 50' chunks!!

[Marcarl]

You could have made a shorter garage, or lower the roof,,,, or moved to a different neighborhood.

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]

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.
