Wednesday, roof with stacks of covering to be deployed
The guys didn’t work on Tuesday. We were given no explanation. They resumed putting up scaffolding on the garage on Wednesday and finished the front. They also cleaned up other areas, including the cavity that will hold the water bag and stacked much of the material for the forms that came from the apartment and next will be used for the house.
Today, Thursday, they spent a large amount of time moving materials around. The new scaffolding and old removed scaffolding had been placed on top of the plants in a couple of Ted’s terrace beds on Friday. Today they got almost all of it moved off to the house site. They were carrying these heavy pieces of metal by hand when I was there in the morning. But perhaps they had some kind of machine because they also dug up dirt in front of the rear house wall and separated our rocks. That requires some machine, but it was not in evidence when I was back up around 5PM.

The workers also added cross-bracing to the scaffolding in the apartment to support the ceiling and they covered the racks with the smooth-finished phenolic plywood. Although it’s hard to see the coverings in the house site picture, you can tell the roof is covered because no light is shining down into the apartment.
