John Moody Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 We have been experiencing a severe heat wave in our area about the time I need to be outside framing up the shop. As it has been hot, the heat also brings the thunderstorms so we have worked a while and run in out of the lighting and rain a while. But over the weekend even with it raining almost all Saturday and Sunday afternoon we managed to get three walls up. Here we got the first wall framed and up and the second wall framed and on the concrete. I left an opening in the first wall so I didn't have to walk all the way around till I get ready to close things in. So the second wall is ready to stand in place and attach to the first wall. I got the small wall at the end framed up and it will have a set of French Doors in the middle of that wall. That end will have our finishing room so we can take the project out the double door and load onto the trailer or truck for pickup or delivery. Making progress but with the heat it is going slow. Don't need to overheat. More as we get it put together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Looking good. Don't forget the fire blocking. And, watch out for heat stroke. John Moody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Wilson Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Looking good, John - - - As Gene mentioned, please be careful of the heat stroke. It's easy to get and not even know your getting it (been there done that) John Moody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Nice! I'm interested in how you re going to tie the new roof to the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I am planning on doing a lean to style roof. I have 2x10's and I am going up on the current roof about three feet, cut them at an angle and attach to the current rafters. But that is subject to change by the time I get there. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 That makes sense. I'd have a roofer do the shingles. My leak preventative measures always fall short. That and, at my age and girth, roofing work is no longer appealing. Especially, in the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Wilson Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Several years ago I would have jumped on it, Ron. The last couple of years have zapped me, especially in this heat. I guess you could say I'm outta the kitchen cause I can't stand the heat. We are in Monteagle, TN this weekend and lovin the 83 degree weather. We almost pulled out of the show due to the high heat and humidity. John Moody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
