In our on-going quest to see how much work we can plow through in a short period of time, we got the last of the i-joists up today. These were on the high part of the roof in the big room.
We did the ledgers and hangers all yesterday, so the process today was cut the i-joists to fit, hoist them onto the roof, go up on both ends (Brad on the short roof, me on the scaffolding), lower the i-joist into the hangers, repeat, repeat. Afterward, we nailed a ton of brackets.
It really isn’t until you get the roof on that you can tell what a room is going to be like.
We’ve looked at drawings, 3D models, etc. of our house, but today we really saw what it will be like. Wow.
What a great view of the mountain. You must be very excited about this part of the construction. We are and we can’t wait to see it in person. We did enjoy watching yesterday, it was like being there. Thanks for including us.
