The toddler got sick yesterday and I had to spend most of the morning watching Elmo and Frozen to keep her happy. Nap time came around and it was game on! I secured the sheathing with deck screws on 6" centers along every rafter. With the sheathing secure, it was time to cut holes in my brand new roof. I was initially planning to use the old luan sheets as templates for the new sheathing, but I found a video on YouTube that Dicor put out detailing the steps to install a new roof and the biggest take away was the process for cutting the new openings. The crew drilled a few pilot holes where each opening was and plunged a router into the hole and used the existing framing as a guide. Brilliant!
Here's the roof with the sheathing secure and all of the holes cut. Note that I have deleted the tv antenna (this thing is for camping!) and the radio antenna. I also plan to delete the luggage rack...no unnecessary holes!
The baby woke up and my day was over, but I did start prepping the siding for tape by cleaning all of the old butyl off the edges. I'm about to start up for the day, so I'll report back soon.
