Completed Roof Prep

After the spruce T&G was nailed to the curved rafters, 1x2s were run lengthwise and 3/4" ply cut into 1 1/2" strips were used as furring strips.  The ply was glued and screwed into the rafters.  Over the course of two days, we cut 3/4" pink insulation board to fit and used 3/8" ply sheating over the insulation.  We thought ply would bend easier than it did and would use 1/4" ply next time.  Glue and screws were put every 6-8"s around the edges of the sheeting.

On top of the sheathing, about 45 feet (3x15') of Grace Water and Ice Shield was installed.  The pans will need to be added after the carport roof is raised 1.5"
