Roofing 1

Doug Pieffer came over to help me on the ground. We drilled all of the holes in preparation for the installation. Brian measured each lat row and we pre -drilled 5 at a time.




Once we had everything in place they were off. Each side needed 17 pieces and they were 224 inches long. We left an inch overhang at the bottom and kept it down 2 inches from the top for a vented ridge cap. With the cupola and the gable vents, this should allow heat to escape from the barn.



Here two of the workers were carefully hoisting the steel up the scaffolding so that they did not scratch the finish. It took about 3.5 hours per side of actual work, but setting up and moving the scaffolding to the other side took a considerable amount of time.
