We finally have the roof deck in place. We had to put all the rest of the decking up on top, then set the final joists in place. Last step is to install the remainder of the decking.
The last of the month, our son came for a few days, and helped with the final steps of the roofing. We put a layer of rigid foam on top of the deck, then a thin plywood on top of that. We have set the rolls of roofing up on top (with the help of a rented lift), and the six buckets of adhesive.
We have also put the insulation up into the roof area. We are insulating the roof since the attic space (there isn’t very much of that) will be part of the conditioned space of the house, same as the crawl space area under the bedroom and the west half of the house.
