Day 9 - The Special Materials Arrive



Today no actual work got done, but a shipment of the "special order" materials arrived. This board is special because it is engineered to support the load of the entire roof structure. Because we have an overhang on our house, the roof can't attach to the house for any load-bearing purposes, so this is the creative work-around that's taken several weeks to materialize. This delivery contains two engineered boards that are 18"x2"x30'. Yes, that's 30 feet. It's hard to get the perspective of how huge these boards really are, but maybe this photo will help.
