the continuing saga of Roof

Because of the rafters, I needed more than sixteen feet of roof. To be precise, as seen above, I needed sixteen feet & 20.5 inches of roof, so that’s what I cut.
That piece went on the back section of the roof, & the rest of that sheet of plywood went along the side, which is enough to cover nearly the entire roof.

There’s just a bit of a gap left in the middle. I’ve got enough thin plywood to cover that up, but that’s got to wait a while, because right now, that’s the only way I can safely get on & off the roof.
I had to go round to the other side & screw down the bottom edge of that board, as before. Tom helped.

Or maybe he just wanted a Love.

Of course nothing quite fits like it’s supposed to — that’s how the world works, & also, I can’t cut a straight line — so this needed to be trimmed down before I could fasten the roof at that corner.

That’s okay, to misquote Grimjack. I’ve got another saw.

Did I mention I can’t cut a straight line? Cos I can’t cut a straight line. This is lined up.

This is, also, why I’m glad I bought three rolls of Tyvek tape. I was gonna be taping all of the gaps between boards anyway.

The view from inside. Roof!

With bonus skylight!

Next up, I’ll be coming up with a way to fasten down the bit where the plywood overlaps, taping up the rest of the gaps, & covering the entire roof with housewrap. Then, napping.

If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.

I know I have that problem, plus the fact that my workshop is on a four foot plinth of ground on three sides, so just getting level with the roof takes the longest ladder I've got. Hence, the easiest point of access is from the inside.
Hm, skylight on a hinge perhaps with yours?
