Day Fifteen and Sixteen | Roof



I've spent the last two days bathed in sunblock on the hottest part of the site; the roof. We're installing a custom aluminum roof system on all parts of the house, with the exception of the green roof area (over the entryway.) This system is comprised of long strips of interlocking metal which run from ridge to base of the roof plane. While they were custom cut, we are responsible for cutting and bending tabs at the end of each sheet to enable their secure installation. After overcoming my fear of walking on a gabled roof, I began to enjoy my assigned task. Working with a small group, we removed exhaust pipes. We then began on the highest flat roof plane, which stands over the entry to the nurse's suite.
