The New Studio Saga: The Studio Raising
November 21 - Part 3
Mr. Snippy (the power
shear) Worked Great on the Straightaway
but let us down on cross-cuts. Even after
modifying the cutter, it would not cut over the ridges of the tin without major
effort, and scratching of the finish on the tin. Randy saved the day with his
saber saw and metal cutting blades. By Sunday we had a metal-cutting blade for
the circular saw and zipped right through. The building salesman said that the
sparks from the blade would mess up the finish. It did much less damage than the
shear he sold me!
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22
Steve and Anden stayed to help until about noon, then had to go back to Northport. JoEl, Randy, Linda and I worked on the roof that afternoon. Instead of screwing in all the screws as we went, we decided to go for maximum coverage and fill in the screws later.
The Back Gable Wall Got Finished
This one was a real pain with the windows and vent shutters - lots of
cutting and fitting.
Randy and I Fastened the Tin Down
as Linda and JoEl handed up the 23 foot long pieces.
JoEl Looked Pretty Tough in a Hard Hat!
We Managed to Get the Gallery Roof on By the End of the Day!
