25 August 2011

A totally dreary day with on-again, off-again showers.  Perry and I worked steadily, up on the scaffolding when the rain abated putting on the sub-fascia (horizontal 2 x 6’s that are nailed to the ends of the roof rafters, onto which the fascia boards will be nailed), inside the almost totally dry shed setting up for the collar tie installation and putting in the rest of the hurricane ties when showers were upon us.  Yes, you read that last sentence correctly… except for one minor pinhole leak that will be fixed with some duct tape tomorrow, the upper and lower levels of the shed are (finally!!!!) protected from water intrusion.  At the end of the day the sub-fascia was attached to the rafter ends all the way around the building and that roof ain’t never coming off them walls, I don’t care how hard the wind blows.
