February 2016

We’re putting up the rest of the joists and the roof deck. We’re using 5/8 Zip system decking, and taping all the joints thoroughly. Hopefully that will eliminate most of the water on the floor that seeps through underneath.

Putting up joists is an interesting experience. We have two sections of scaffolding on wheels that we can move around where needed. We prepare the joist, and lift it up across the 2 sections, then I get up on one end, and Denise on the other, and we set it in place and screw it to the top of the wall. Then we come down, prepare the next one and do the same thing again.

After we have enough joists in place, we use our panel lift, and put some pieces of the roof decking up on top, move them into place, and fasten them down.

Then back to joists, and more decking.
