Roof Base and Casters go up!

On Friday the 31st, We put together the 2×6 roof base. These laminated 2×6’s will have 5 3-inch steel casters each, and will be the basis of the roll-off roof. I used a string line to make sure the casters were line up with one another as straight as possible.

Lining up the casters

After the casters were installed, we carried the boards up to the site and installed them with temporary supports to keep them in place until the roof frame is built. This was a bear – these 20′ double 2×6 boards with 5 steel casters are heavy! I think Tif was ready to kill me after this chore…

They rolled on well – our track was straight!
Both them installed – ready for the Roof frame tomorrow!
