SUNROOM FORTYFOUR

View of roof along right hip showing nice job done by Rick with attention to sealing the tar-paper with sealant until the Roofers come and install flashing; roof tiles; etc. Around 1130 we had the only shower of the day, and it was a torrent. It came at the time such work as shown above was but half finished. If water did get into the house, it never showed, but just rolled down the roof under the gable roofing - plywood, and onto the pateo deck. No word when the roofers will come...they will be sub-CONtracted however.

More of Rick's work. Very thorough...in this case double/two in one use of Double Stud Plates. Good man that Rick....given the chance he goes by the book ( Plans ).

The Project Manager, and the "Concrete" butcher worked on the intermediate truss seen above with the crude shims under it for about a half hour. That truss should have been put in with the others. Another "butcher" job. So much of this work is so...and the nails...nails by the dozens toe-nailing things. It may be strong, but it's a calamity regardless.
The large beam seen to the right is the LVL Wall Beam they forgot to put up; instead putting up the 2x4 under it which should have been removed after me reminding them of the LVL Beam. That would have given that much more larger windows in the Gable. The 2x4 upon which rests the truss ends should have butted up against the side of the LVL Beam. It's all so phuct-up! Such a shame! The "glory" of the structure was those Gable windows now reduced to a sliver of light.

The Project Manager promised the windows be in before the day ended...they were. He also said they would pop right in...they did. No problems in that area. They started the window emplacement at 1550, and they were all nailed in an hour later, at which time they all left. The windows are high-impact double glass solar whatever in Vynil frames.

The windows as seen inside. The large windows open up, and down...like the old tenement sash-weighted windows. Quite nice, but the wife is disappointed because she had ordered sliding windows. I also suspect she isn't saying anything about the skimpy Gable height, but there too is disappointed in that.
Wait a whole year to the day to get this job done, and it's pathetic. Monday they return to do things forgotten like the lag bolts that secure the LVL Beam to the Wall Panels; which should have been done when the Beam was put up.

See what happens...on Monday.
