Today Ron had the day off. John & Bert worked on framing details, built a frame for our jetted tub and added the last few pieces of OSB sheathing. Our planset had some high wind reinforcements required by the Florida Code and Marion County layered their own wind and seismic requirements also. We have metal straps and large wooden gusset framing throughout the structure of our house, also some big screw type anchors around the windows and a metal strap that runs the length of the garage roof. John only needs to frame tray ceilings in the entry, dining room, living room and master bedroom to be done.

The 2 roofers had hired a helper for Thursday & Friday. With his help, they expected to finish the roof today, but the helper only worked a short time Thursday then quit. He felt the roof was too steep, too high up, and the work too hard. The original 2 worked on without him and stayed late today. They have finished the South, West and part of the North roof and will finish up the North roof and begin the East roof on Monday.
