blew it off...

Rigged up my multiple escape routes and climbed up on top today fix a few spots and clean up the roof.  Lot of metal shavings from the screws are caught in little nooks and crannies up there.  Thought it would be best to remove them before installing the gutters.  Generator - compressor - 50' hose - roof cleared of the tiny bits.  Just in case you didn't tune into the live video feed from TFL today - you missed me juggling apples on top of the roof then sliding off the north side onto the roof rack of my truck.  62,76,37,0,C

Roof Done!

Being that today was Sunday and all...I contemplated taking the day off. But since I didn't do any work out here yesterday - I decided to kick ass. What day of the week it is out here rarely matters unless you are looking to get mail or a delivery. The plan just poured out of my head and came together with little effort. Worked all day framing up the top of the battery house and building the roof. Had to make a jig to trace the radius ( 9' ) for the curved rafters. Took my marked pieces over to Chucks to use his jig saw to cut them out. Kind of butchered them but they were close enough. Once I put the tin on, you couldn't tell they were sloppy cuts. It all came together like magic. Have to build and hang the door tomorrow. Wrapped things up my 6PM and took a shower - my beard really needed some TLC.
