Day Seventeen and Eighteen




Today I focused primarily on the installation of drip edge, which will enable us to continue with roof installation. After working through the difference between drip edge and drip molding (several sheets of drip molding later,) I was clipped to a harness, suspended from the ridge cap of the gabled roof over the nurse's suite and kitchen, to install drip edge. Working with my group, we realized that the gabled roof over the nurse's suite had a gap at the ridge cap of at least two feet- far exceeding code. Having discovered this, we ripped up the waterproofing and installed plywood over the excessive gap. With new waterproofing in place, it is now ready for the roofing system.
