Today, we installed the roof system. I rented a crane from the company my cousin Ron works for. Ron ran the crane for us. It took about 4 hours to set the posts and install the ridgepole and purlins. The next job is to cut flats on the walls to accept the rafters (TGIs). Then we will install the 1 X 4 boards on the ridgepole, purlins and top, side, wall logs. These will be spacers to install the inside tongue and groove roof boards after we insulate and install the electrical wiring. After the roof TGIs are installed and the roof is decked over with plywood or OSB, we will install the logs over the deck poles and tie the deck roof into the main roof on both sides of the house. Then we will install the felt and shingles.
