Dec 28: Sloped Roof

Secondary Strut is bolted to the hip beam, left.


A close-up of the Secondary Strut shows the two roller bolts with sleeves that will guide the Secondary and Primary Cables through the slot in the strut, left.






Temporary shoring is constructed to support the roof before the cables are in place, left.

















A beam connecting the Cable Truss Saddle to a tube steel post bearing on the concrete block wall is lifted by the Gradall and bolted in place, above. 

Below, one of two sloped roof planes is completed.


An exposed rake edge of the east sloping roof SIP's, shown in the photo to the left, was not cut correctly at the factory and will need to be corrected by the builder.  The top edge of each panel will need to be furred out to align vertically with the bottom edge to form a 'gravity cut' before the fascia can be properly installed.  In addition, on the other axis in the plane of the sloping roof, the exposed edge of the lowest sloping roof SIP is not in alignment with the other sloping roof SIP's, which form the roofline at the rake. This correction will also need to be done on-site by the builder before installing the fascia.     



The crew takes a break.
