I looked at my 44 documentation, and have forgotten what I saw...

Some progress this week, dormers are framed, sheathing on the roof continues. The plan is to finish sheathing the roof, completing the shingles (steel slabs) and installing windows next week.

A taste of the attic space.

I was going from memory, the photos would seem to confirm it is a 306A.

Work continues, dormers are sheathed, getting the barrier down on the roof area in preparation for shingles, and the parapet in front is mostly complete. I have asked the contractor to box in the corners to the ground to try and eliminate the edges jutting out.

I noticed the other day there were several (turns out to be 5) roof trusses behind the contractors shop, seems the vendor miscalculated and made too many. After discussing with the contractor, he mentioned the possibility of extending the roof on the shop end to form a sort of car port or covered parking. We have just enough clearance to the power lines over head and we are still more than 10' from the center line of the alley so it is a go. This will work out nicely as I wanted to put an opening in the ceiling so I can run a hoist down to bring heavy items up to the attic storage. Now we can put that opening in the covered parking area and won't have to put a hole in the insulated ceiling anywhere.

Adding the foundations for the post that will support the far end of the extended roof.

One crew started on the Decra shingles this week. Too bad they didn't get finished before it started raining.

Decra shingles on sight, framing for the roof extension underway on the far end.

The city guy was a bit concerned about the distance from the top of the roof to the 7,200 volt line overhead so he put a sheath on until he can move it over some.

The roof extension is mostly complete but I wasn't going to stand out in the rain to take photos. Some of the crew were on site working under cover today getting started on framing the interior walls.
