December 2015 - Roofing Part 1

I had designed the roof to have tapered insulation and a TPO membrane, both of which we have never done (although I had drawn a few projects with it at DTW). I had to do a TON of research on it to figure out. The design and detailing of the tapered insulation was quite time consuming, and the full diamond saddle almost drove me crazy. I still don't have all the roof details worked out, I am having to figure them out as we go. Big thanks to Liz Watson at Roofing Tools and Equipment for providing all the roofing material for the house.

Unloading the polyiso truck. This guy drove from Jacksonville, Florida that morning and was at the jobsite at 7:30!

Roof edge blocking being installed.

Wow, that is a lot of roofing material. 

Mocking up the drain with some scraps.

It's good to have a neighbor with a forklift! Our Bobcat won't lift that high. Thanks Ricky!

The master bedroom wing with all the tapered polyiso and the wood fiber cover board  and tapered edge strips installed. Ready for the membrane!

Dad, Matt, and Will did a great job. This is the neatest install I have ever seen. I have been on several big commercial jobs and the "professionals" are never this precise.

I had to put this photo of Misha on here to showing him "helping" us out with the Bobcat. He loves this thing!
