July 30, 2013 Rafters installed




   We finished installing the TGIs (rafters) today. Yesterday was a long day, today seemed like it would never end. It was 3:55 before I realized we missed lunch!

   Tomorrow I will screw down the last two wall logs installed, and start building blockers to go between the TGIs to keep them in proper alignment to accept the roof sheeting. I still have a number of blockers left over from building the house, which I will use on the garage.

   Friday, we will chalk line the TGIs on both sides and cut them to length. Then we have to install
 2 X 12 pine for mounting the facia boards. The 1 X 12 and a 1 X 4 rough cut cedar will go on last. Once this is complete, we'll install the sheeting on the entire roof.
