Cupola Progress

The cupola repair is in progress. I have been trying to get it ready so that it can be lifted in place with the Petty bone. Here it has been painted the color we chose for the barn. The roof has tar paper and drip edge on it. The tar paper was not really necessary but I wanted to make sure there were no leaks because of the location. This will have a metal roof similar to the one I am going to install on the barn,




Here is the base I am building. The inside dimension is 3/4 of an inch bigger than the outside of the cupola and it slides right in. I am putting 1 X 10 tongue and groove , white pine boards on it. This frame will be incorporated into the roof and the cupola will fit right into it.
