north side fishers island 7/29,niantic 7/30
#17
the roof dosnt sag, it is actualy built that way,

the walls didnt push out, they too were built that way,

I took pictues from the underside when I pulled off the old vents. I put the camera down the hole and took pictures of all directions.... not a bend or a sag anywhere... truthfuly I was surprized... more so was the township when they looked at it...

each rafter is progressivly shorter going to the center... the roof boards on top reflect the fact... the attachment below shows how the roof peek was assembled prior to my covering it over... what you are looking at is 1x8 cut to acheive the concave affect on the peek...

the cabin was built in 1938

I like the sprayer idea, unfortunatly that means I would have to tape the whole soffit and trim area... Cant use a roller because the boards are all tung and grove and recessed. guess that means its the old six inch brush.... "the whole way.... unless I hit the lotto [laugh] then the next thing I will be working on my house it mounting the rod mounts to the deck of my houseboat...
