Got to the job site this morning after an all night rain in time to find it still raining. The photo to the left is from the loft level looking out. The broom helped move standing water off the decking. Nothing was damaged from the rain. We've actually had very good weather up until today BUT things are going to go back to GOOD at least until next Wednesday which should give us plenty of time to set the second floor SIPs and build the roof system.We bought Zip Panels for the roof. They're 5/8" pre-finished with a waterproof membrane that seals the roof from water leakage. It gives us ample time to get the shingles installed without worry of a leaky roof.
The plan this morning included having the roof system delivered with a boom truck (one that can lift material on a long arm and save our backs) AND have the second floor SIPs delivered at the same time so the boom operator could lift both SIPs and roofing system to the second floor. Did I say plan? I got a call from the building supply company early this morning informing me that their boom truck was leaking gas and they had to have it fixed before letting it head our way. I've seen this boom truck and it's not old and run down so I suspect it just decided to take a break for the day. I did get a call later in the day that it was repaired and delivery is set for 8am tomorrow morning.The SIPs truck did show up on time and we decided to off load the SIPs into the garage and let the driver head back to Winston-Salem. It actually might be better this way because with 2 large trucks jockeying for position, etc. it might have been a nightmare.
Tomorrow morning's delivery will let us arrange the material without being rushed because...after the rain stopped, the snow started. Snow makes things very slippery and dangerous so after a brief meeting the guys called it a day.
I'm going home #!*$!@ !!!
More coming,
