Rafters
Hello all. This week we gained roof rafters, and you can start to see the barn influence. The above shot is from the backyard.
Above is a shot from across the driveway. The workers have begun to apply the Tyvek housewrap to the sheathing.
Above is the view from the driveway as it turns toward the garage. Check out the sweetness that is our covered deck!
It turns out that we'll need a separate foundation for our entry steps. That big mound of dirt is backfill that had to be removed to make way for said foundation.
It appears mighty tall when you're approaching the garage. I think this is really going to be an impressive sight when it's done.
This is up on the roof deck. It's not the best picture, but you can see that the floor is waterproofed and sloped to allow for proper drainage.
And here's the lovely Nina, standing in the master closet wall.

Nice rafters.
The waterproofing on the roof deck looks a lot like the acrylic product I just applied to our outside porch. Is there an embeded fabric as well?
Gordon - I believe there's fabric embedded in the waterproofing layer. We could see some sort of mesh pattern in the surface.
it's a product called "acrymax". you can find it here: http://www.preservationproducts.com/
Hi there,
How are the metal rafters attached on the outside? Are they custom or can they be purchased online? Thank you!
