This one's for Wim

Well- Another day of BIG progress, almost all the trusses are up, another day for the roof jacks? I think that is the end of the hip roofs on the ends of the building. Know the process needs to refine how this is going to tie into the old roof. I've included a 2 pics of the front, showing the higher new roof pitch, and the back. Then there is the entry way extension with no roof. A shed or low pitched won't work, of course I thought of the obvious a patio cover type, which has been explained is ridiculous and so this is where Wim comes in. Our good friend and contractor extradoire is an unpaid consultant and currently in Mexico so this could be hard but he does have a set of plans with him and he's had enough vacation days anyway! Ha- The video is of Chris pulling out more of the old heating ductwork, I still have promised to get up there to get the last of the old wiring out which is supposedly all off! That could be an eventful day but hopefully NOT! Oh- we have a Dennis B replacement- Phil from Red Bluff, must be a deer hunter, but another quick worker that has to learn to slow for the senior citizen crew! More on the roof tomorrow!Another casulty- My IPOD!! we were so dirty, dusty from pulling the last kitchen wall of plaster down on Sat that I went straight into the laundry room and threw everything in the washing machine before getting in the shower, why don't guys think of this procedure? Anyway, the IPOD was in my pockets and although very clean, very out of any sort of functioning, is this a construction expense??
