SOME PEOPLE CALL ME THE SPACE COWBOY!!
Today hurt! Man am I tired! When I arrived at the construction site Bill and John were already hard at work on top of the porch. First thing Bill had me do was grab a huge plywood sheet and lift it up to them. Damn was this thing heavy! Next thing we did was start to pitch the roof so that rain would run drain off the porch and not puddle up on the roof. The roof has slight angles going from the house down and towards each edge. Its hard to describe but there are slight angles from all the directions going to the side of the porch. I used the nail gun and staple gun to tack down plywood and some "spikes" which are 3 inch nails to drive the plywood securely into the rafters above. Before I left for the day I clamped together a jack that had begun to pull apart. I wasn't able to nail it completely back to normal but a pretty darn close to where it was originally! Tomorrow we start trimming!!
