Today the same crew showed up about 7:00am. We discussed the door layout and Robert marked where the posts for the front and rear should go. There will two 12′ wide by 14′ high overhead doors on the front with a 36″ entry door. These will go in after concrete is poured and cured. In the back, I will frame a 10′ by 10′ overhead door, installed later when the budget allows, covered with siding for now.
All the crew went to work getting the metal roof panels on and screwed down. Again, each of the crew knew where to be with the appropriate tool or material for whatever task was needed. One person stayed on the roof to finish the trim and later joined the crew below to finish the pole installation and secure braces for the trusses. The four foot level got another workout as Robert checked for plumb and made adjustments as needed.
As work was completed, I discussed a few items with Robert and Tim (on the phone), the owner of Troyer Post Buildings. We thought the wall siding was too short and needed to be re-ordered. Turns out I forgot about the clear section I requested at the top of the side walls. All was as it should be, well except the delivery of clear panels has been delayed. However, before we realized about the missing parts, we discussed putting a metal wainscoting on the bottom of the walls. I got a price for the material and it’s been ordered. I think it will dress up the appearance very nicely.
OK, that’s it for today. The materials and labor have been paid for, except the additional accent panels for the bottom, and now it’s my turn to pretend I’m a carpenter, plumber, electrician and just a plain ole’ nice guy.
Here’s a time-lapse video of the work done today.
Stay Tuned!
We put clear panels at the top of our walls too. It makes for an incredible difference. No feeling around for a light switch in the middle of the day. Let's me know when I've left the lights on at night too!
Hadn't thought about letting me know the lights are left on. Thanks
