Reciprocal Roof Project: Tweedledee, Tweedledew, and the Learning Curve Part 2

“Welcome to part two of our roofing saga! In part one, we tackled the challenges of building our intricate roof structure on the ground, solving complex angles, and centering everything for the big lift. Now, join us as we embark on the next phase—finishing the roof. Get ready for some shenanigans, a few hiccups, and the ultimate triumph.”

The Lift:

“After much anticipation, we successfully lifted the roof into position. However, that was just the beginning. Watch as we navigate discussions on support removal, making critical decisions to ensure the structure is freestanding. Our journey involves lifting and lowering, repositioning supports, and the inevitable technical glitch—a camera battery dying at a crucial moment.”

Lumber Run:

“Once the main structure was up, we embarked on a lumber run to gather materials for the next steps. Witness the extension process, as we plan for the roof to extend beyond the building. The vision includes a 10-foot overhang, and we explore the challenges and solutions in making this idea a reality.”

Purlin Puzzles:

“The intricacies continue with the introduction of purlins—those crucial supports that fill the gaps. Experience the trial and error involved in test fittings, trying out different types of lumber, and the learning process of calculating angles. We tackle the challenges head-on, making approximately 20 test fits before achieving success.”

The Mad Scientist’s Workshop:

“Meet the mad scientist of our project, deep in concentration as calculations unfold. Quiet on the set as we witness the behind-the-scenes calculations that contribute to the success of our roofing masterpiece.”

Interior Revelations:

“As the roof takes shape, we step back to admire our creation from the inside. The complexity becomes apparent, and we marvel at the intricate web of supports and angles. A true testament to our perseverance and determination.”

Conclusion:

“While the adventure involved its fair share of challenges, the satisfaction of overcoming each obstacle made it all worthwhile. Stay tuned for future updates as we add the finishing touches and bring this roofing project to its final glory.”

Buddy asked me to lend a couple hands to putting a roof on his utility building.  Gladly!  Talk a little in the beginning the rest is all goofing around
