Whao there Nellie! Wait just a gall durn minute here! You don't jump straight to putting a roof deck on without a few other minor details first. You know, like walls and trusses maybe? We have been so busy with our remodeling work that we have been building when we can. Our chief blogger's head exploded and he had to be sent away to an undisclosed location. While he was away walls were built and trusses were set. The walls were framed with 2x6's set 24" on center. The premise is simple. The fewer studs there are, the more insulation coverage there is. Our corners were constructed with advanced framing techniques to, again, reduce the number of studs and allow the introduction of more insulation to the corners.
We had some great help with the trusses. Jeff Harris and JD Olsen of Harris Construction helped us get the trusses up on top. Bill Dorr joined Arun and Reese to put them in place and tie them all together. All of us were overseen by "Angelina" the 'goddess of early spring' framing. She provided the warm days when we needed them, and helped to keep a smile on everyone's faces. We are not sure where she came from, and she seemed to move around a bit in the evenings when we were gone. But, we'll take all the help we can get.
