Raise the roof time



Good weather was forecasted for the week so Tuesday the roof was the goal. Actually, they worked on getting roof decking down while others framed up walls inside. It went pretty fast. Interesting to see how quickly framing was marked on the decking. When they said plumbing and electrical were "off", I panicked for just a moment. Then Pedro showed me how we could just move walls slightly and it'd all work.

By end of the day, roof decking and felt paper were down - good for waterproofing. Though we had huge holes where windows were to go, Few walls were up but no screened in porch yet. Wednesday looked to be the last big push.

Other than feeding the crew lunch each day and providing some end of day libations, I was mainly answering questions and calling contractors to notify them of the ever-changing calendar. Somehow it was invigorating and exhausting at the same time. Each night I'd finish around 730 or 8 cleaning up or planning for the next day. Many nights I was emailing even later to keep things moving. Not sure how folks would do this if they just went to work and hoped for the best.
