It was a big day today. The roof went up today. The rafters were cut yesterday and were delivered this morning to the roof platform with a crane.
One by one the guys lifted them up to the ridge pole and nailed them in place.
The rafters are nailed to the ridge pole at the top and the joists at the bottom.
Do that about a hundred times….
…and you are done. Below is a photo of the rafters in place.
After the rafters were in place, they put the plywood sheathing on.
There you go! The roof is on.
Now it really looks like a house!
And it was all done before the stormy skies arrived.
