The roof is almost done, water and wind tight. Worse project up there hands down was the roof. I went there Wednesday and it rained so didn't get much done, Thursday I got out there at daylight. There were 36- 15-1/2" z channels that had to be installed on the peak to get above the standing rib, for the ridge cap to snap onto. I was fresh and could sit on the ridge for most of that, but it was still difficult. Next it was time for the ridge cap. The roof is 10 on 12 pitch for the snow, with the new roof its super slippery to where you have to get a run at it on the low roof and the success rate of getting to the top is 50/50 at best. When I got up there I couldn't sit on the ridge anymore due to bending the z channels, so the only way not to slide down is to push your feet out sideways into the ribs with enough force to hold you then work with one hand. There is not a lot of clearance between the inside crimp on the ridge cap and the z channel so snapping them on was no fun at all. The z channels took around 2 hours, the ridge cap took more than 4 hours because of fatigue and many tries. When I got the ridge cap all done I sat down in the cabin for 30 minutes and it was difficult to get back up. The next morning every muscle in my body was hurting from doing isometrics trying not to slide, and I have been working out regular at home. I sealed the lower roof seam with buttle tape just because there are high winds up there when raining and wanted to eliminate any chance of leaking. The upper roof leads over the low roof more than 6" and sealing it was over kill, but whatever, its done. Also I started hemming the roof around the plywood underlayment, I started with the corners because the outside of the corners were not screwed down. I will do that when the z channels are installed for the flashing, that won't happen until I stone the exterior. Its done enough to where its not going to come loose or leak anywhere. When I walked in the cabin when I got there it had been raining off and on for weeks. The first thing I noticed was how dry it felt in there. In the past when it rained a lot it always felt damp and cold. I guess it was worth all the trouble, just didn't fell like it when I was doing it. All the hard structural jobs are done now, its time to move to the finish work. Im really happy with the solar also. Turn the hot water tank on at around 9am, water hot at noon then shut it off, stays hot until the next day. During the day you could run everything un effecting the battery charge. At night, I used the microwave a couple times, pressure pump when flushing the toilet or using the sink, LED lights, computer etc. Go to sleep around 9pm. Next morning use the coffee maker , pressure pump and microwave before daylight. Full charge is 30.1 volts, in the morning it is still around 23 volts, it goes low voltage and cuts off at 19 volts. When I add a washer/ dryer and refrigerator I will also add another battery pack. All the big stuff like hot water tank and refridgrerator will be on timers. I think the inverters parasitic drain is using as much battery as the appliances at night. I could shut the inverter off but then I couldn't flush the toilet or make coffee in the morning without going to the container and turning it back on.Im wondering if I can set up a remote to turn it on and off from the cabin. If you practice what your mom told you and turn the lights off and don't waist energy its acceptable. The only time I felt short of electricity up there was during the fires last year, solar doesn't work through smoke very well at all. While I was there I disconnected the spring line from the water tank and drained the water from everything in the cabin. Im not sure if I will get back up there before the freeze. Over and out.
