We have finally begun installing the roof panels. So far this the most challenging phase of the construction. We are now in the winter weather cycle, where waves of moisture are constantly coming from the Pacific across Oregon and Washington. The mornings will be wet, and the afternoons may be sunny and dry. This makes scheduling a work crew just about impossible, so Susan and I will have to figure out how to move the 6' x 40' insulation rolls and the 3' x 21' steel panels up to the roof by ourselves. When the roof is the least bit damp, it becomes very slippery, and can't be walked on. I found this out the other evening when I was installing the ridge cap. The sun went down, and moisture immediately formed on the roof panels, making it nearly impossible to get any traction. I was quite happy to get back into the lift and get back to solid ground. Unless we can get a string of dry days, this part of the construction could take a while.
