Using a CRANE on the New Roof ~ Part 4 ~ Rebuilding of 'The Salvage Cave'

A Day of Construction at the Warehouse

The construction team is working tirelessly to complete the garage and office renovation project at the warehouse. The day began with the concrete truck dumping its contents into the pump truck, which then lifted the heavy machinery over the big arm. The foreign workers were impressed by the efficiency and productivity of the operation.

As the team worked on setting up the trusses, they explained that this Bay would not have an engine lift in it. Instead, they used scissor trusses, which are vaulted at an angle to provide a higher ceiling. These trusses are essential for the lifts, which will be added to two of the other Bays. The team also mentioned that they had to remove the Center section of the warehouse as part of the renovation.

The workers measured and marked off the plywood sheets, ensuring that each one was at a 2-foot mark. They snapped chalk lines along the edge of the roof, creating a straight line for the plywood to adhere to. The team was excited to get the first layer of plywood up on the roof, which would help protect it from the rain that was expected later in the day.

As the sun began to set, the workers completed the installation of the garage doors and finished drying in the roof. They also boarded up the gables and installed the synthetic underlayment. The team was thrilled with their progress and couldn't wait to start working on the steel roofing and electrical installations.

The workers then moved on to tearing out the old roof, which had been snowed over. They removed the entire roof section, revealing a vast open space beneath. This new area would be framed up to create separate sections for the office and storage areas.

Next, the team began framing in the electrical panel and installing outlets throughout the warehouse. They also planned to close off one wall to create a warm space near the door. As they worked, the workers couldn't help but admire their progress, which had transformed the old warehouse into a modern and efficient facility.

With the roof now complete, the team was eager to start working on the metal roofing installation. They used a machine with a platform to hold the metal flat, ensuring that it didn't bow under its weight. The workers then began feeding sheets of metal up onto the roof, overlapping them to create a seamless finish.

As they worked, the team couldn't help but take in the view from their elevated position. They were also excited to share their progress with others, as they planned to record some of their work on YouTube.

With the roof now complete and the old one removed, the workers began focusing on the electrical installations. They installed new outlets and planned to frame up a section for the office to create separate areas for work and storage.

The team also took time to admire their handiwork, marveling at how far they had come since the beginning of the project. From the snow-covered roof to the modern metal roofing, every detail had been carefully considered and executed. As they continued working on the renovation, the team was excited to see the finished product and know that it would serve as a testament to their hard work and dedication.

As the day came to a close, the workers reflected on what had been achieved. Despite the challenges posed by snow and rain, they had persevered and made tremendous progress. The warehouse now boasted a modern and efficient garage and office space, courtesy of the construction team's tireless efforts.
