Work continues on the roof with the west side of it nearing completion.
I was able to make a long weekend of it and managed to accomplish quite a bit. We are learning more and more every time we make headway on the roof. This weekend was making the cuts on the SIPs where the two different roof lines come together.
I don't know if it is pure luck or we have some idea what we are doing but things sure have been coming together well with little or no messing around after the initial cut. This is a good confidence booster which will be needed once work begins on the East side of the roof where many valley cuts await us!!!
We also picked up eight rolls of Grace Ice and Water shield which will be enough to get the West side covered once it is finished and inspected. Although it is considerably more expensive than standard felt, it buys us some time on getting the roof covered with what ever we decide to put on as a permanent roof, and with all the reading I have done on the product it looks like it is a very good roof underlayment.

Hey Rob,
Looks great! I love the T&G, and that porch is going to be a sweet place to hang out. Just wanted to let you know I'm following your progress and enjoying the blog. Talk to you soon.

PS Is there any chance I could get a disk with raising photos so I can get you up on the site? I obviously have all the blog photos, but I know there were many others . . .
Rob, How many people are you using to handle the SIP Panels? Friends or professional builders.
The house looks great!

As of lately it has just been myself due to me taking some time off from work during the week. Other than that it has just been my wife and I.
The panels are not terribly heavy and once they are lifted on to the roof top they are relatively east to maneuver in to place.
