Then we had to get the ridge beam into place. I had to help with this strategic placement, another ridiculously heavy piece of wood......
Once the ridge beam was up then the rafters were cut and put into place....
Hope whoever built the porch made it strong enough to withstand huge weights....
Then he bolted them all into place and added the rafter ties (I know all the lingo)..
Next he had to build a California Valley? a what? I hear you cry..... This is a structure that ties the porch back into the roof...
Next...... yes there is more.... you add the cedar slats...
And FINALLY the plywood sheathing....
And then it is finished...
Just in time for the rain....
But fear not, the sun is set to return this week for the foreseeable future, we are hopeful the roof will be finished shortly. Until then Mr M is taking a deep breath!!
