today was one of those 8 am saturdays, which in theory are great, got out to site early finish up some loose ends go home early. yes well 6:45 comes really early! caroline and i started out the day by working with robert to try and figure out the slope of the roof in the entrance area, which will be the green roof. since the walls angle away from each other the slope of each beam will be different, because the space gets bigger. well we were trying to figure out which way they would slope, it was super confusing. to see where we stood with the height of the beam relative to the height of the back wall we got out to transit and measured the four corners. the beam actually ended up not being level by almost 4 inches so we had to take out the shims on the south wall. after the beam was level we moved to cutting 2x6’s that will go on top of the beam to build it up 4.5” so the roof will slope from front to back. we were not able to actually put them up for a while because there were no ladders or walk boards. and what do you do in [us] if you don’t have it…..build it. so we built 2 walk boards that we could put between 2 ladders. we got them up and the started putting the 2x6’s up.
