Spencer's Pole Barn Project

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

<font color="blue"> Mike, last year (on page two of this thread) I was asking if there was a product I could put on that would be better than tar paper and last me all winter. I think this Ice Shield would have been the perfect product to use. </font>
The initial versions of ice shields were susceptible to UV damage if left uncovered for too long. Are the new versions different?

Looks great, Spencer!

You probably feel good enough now to skinny up one of those nearby trees to get a bird's eye view of the finished roof! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I know I would...

Congratulations! It's all down hill after the roof is finished... at least in my mind... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

Mike, that is a good question. I have no idea how this stuff holds up to UV light. I'm sure they don't design it to hold up to UV because it is normally not exposed to it. I probably would have been safe using it over the winter here in Michigan. We don't normally see the sun but a day or two all winter long. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Henro, I'll see what I can do.

In this picture the guys are getting ready to put on the ridge vent. Those strips of metal are zinc strips. When it rains the water runs across those strips and the zinc helps to prevent discoloration of the shingles due to moss, etc.

This picture shows the shingles that were fastened on top of the ridge vent.

In this picture the guys are getting ready to snap a chalk line down the center of the valley. They ran the shingles from the main roof up through the valley and onto the smaller roof. Then they ran the shingles from the smaller roof over top of the shingles on the main roof. After they snapped the chalk line they cut the top layer of shingles off in a straight line.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

This picture was taken the next day (Sunday) after the roof had been finished. It was too dark by the time the last two roofers finished the job to take any pictures on Saturday night. This is the best picture I have of the completed roof at this time. I will try to get a picture of the whole roof in a day or two. I will have to climb a tree or something like Henro had suggested to get the whole roof in the picture.

One more picture similar to the last one but on a different angle.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

This is the last picture for now. This is the view from up near my house. It sure is nice looking out and seeing the roof completed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
