This morning contractor was here and also had a guy fro mthe truss company to measure and discuss the final design of the roof trusses. Interior height will be around 8 feet which is not that bad, considering the very strict height limit the City has for all buildings (maximum 25 feet above "ABE", Average building Elevation").
Plan is to have the a new plate built up on Friday during the day and the new trusses delivered late Friday afternoon and lift them up at the same. Contractor and his crew will then work over the weekend to line them up and sheet that new roof. Monday morning would then be the time for inspection of nailing pattern and hold downs (required in Earthquake zones).
I plan to take Wednesday and Thursday to tear the old roof off so all is ready for Friday morning. This past Saturday I went out a bought two gigantic tarps to be able to cover up the "exposed" area if needed, but I really hope that we can "swing" this during a good break in the weather. Been closely followign the weather forecasts...
Decision for go-ahead or not this weekend has to be made by Tuesday...
