By the end of December the clerestory ceiling and most of the letterboard were installed. Paint removal from the interior also continued.
About half of the clerestory ceiling remained to be installed.
The boards were cut to length with the chop saw.
Then "blind nailed" through the tongue with an air nailer.
This photo shows one end of the clerestory ceiling. The underside of the decking above is seen on the left.
For comparison this is a photo of the interior end of the car before dismantling.
Earlier I had shown this crack in the lower clerestory sill.
This has subsequently been repaired with long screws. In addition the weight (number of people) allowed on the roof has been limited.
Installation of the letter board has begun.
These were fastened in place with screws.
The lower roof decking overlaps the letterboard.
In the last work session of the month the ceiling was being completed.
For a job like this it helps to be tall!
By the end of the work session the ceiling was completed.
Looks like the letter board on the south side is finished.
The north side is still in progress. This photo shows how the lower roof decking will overlap the letterboard.
Next is sanding.
Paint removal from the interior continues.
