Got the garage roof on... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67HEAVEN · 07-20-2008, 12:30 PM

With the help of my ol' '89 4x4, and some friends and neighbours, the new shop is nearing an important milestone.....

.....roof trusses.

Yours truly waiting for the next truss.

Ever see it done this way before?

Notice the yellow rope on the end of the truss....

67HEAVEN · 07-20-2008, 12:33 PM

I forgot to point out the special truss design (see the one on the ground in this photo from yesterday). Except for the two outside girder trusses, the other nine main trusses have a special design that provides two feet of additional headroom to allow for a vehicle hoist.

Although there would easily have been enough interior height to raise most cars without this design, I wanted to be sure that my Z71 Tahoe (or any other tall vehicle) would have plenty of headroom.

I'd rather be up on the roof today, but it's been raining heavily all morning.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 07-20-2008, 01:04 PM

Thats awesome its looking good. Keep up the good work!

463 · 07-20-2008, 03:16 PM

i was wondering how the shop was going and now we all know. hold in there one step at a time and you will be done before you know it. she is lookin good.

67HEAVEN · 07-20-2008, 05:52 PM

Thanks for the comments. Here's a different view of the raised (vaulted) trusses....

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-20-2008, 06:01 PM

Very cool looks like it should be done before winter time gets there...

67HEAVEN · 07-27-2008, 05:24 PM

Progress is slow due to the constant rain and thunderstorms we've had around the lower Great Lakes this year.

But, I got six hours on the roof today before the lightning returned.

When you look straight down, the ground is far, far away.

Silly American is wrong.

Centre is ENGLISH (just ask the English...........it's their language). Center is American. Écouter is French.

Thanks for the kind words though.

FYI. it'

s not a insulation. it's Typar Housewrap - UV protected - Energy-saving air filtration barrier - Guaranteed to survive sun, wind, rain, snow and construction - Wrap around house framing before brick or siding is installed - Save energy by keeping outside air from penetrating through construction gaps and by keeping conditioned air inside from leaking out - Breathable to allow water vapor in wall cavities to escape, so it won't cause mildew and rot and it's good stuff

67HEAVEN · 08-07-2008, 05:30 PM

In three hours this morning, I got another side of the roof covered with plywood. Then, the rain started.

Cyclone44 · 08-07-2008, 06:58 PM

That is nice...

Thanks. I got almost all the plywood on today, but the FREAKIN' RAIN came again.

We've already surpassed the annual rainfall record, and it's only August.

463 · 08-10-2008, 08:26 PM

well heaven it's like this. when your up that high (on the frickin roof) just reach a bit higher and shut the dam tap off. that should get you back to work on the shop roof.

keep the faith up the roof will get done!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 08-11-2008, 12:20 AM

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-11-2008, 01:32 PM
