today i worked with candice & ashley to prepare the south side of the big roof for decking. for the past few days, josh & lauren g have been putting up the rafter tails, and we had to do a bit more work before we could put the decking on. first, we cut some plywood to sheath some small areas that aren't going to be exposed from underneath. then adrian & robert did some designing/problem solving on the fly, as we had some issues with the corners and also the tree that required there to be a notch in the decking. so at the corners, instead of mitering the decking so that it creates one smooth corner, we cut it flush with each rafter so that there is a notch at the corners as well. to do this, we had to build another rafter for the corner to support the last pieces of decking. it was a bit annoying, because this whole process took us ALL day, because we had to add a whole bunch of blocking so that everything is supported properly. then at about 5.30, we were able to get the decking started, so tomorrow everything should go pretty smoothly!
