Thanksgiving - Completing the Rafters and Roof Structure

Volunteers were out on Thanksgiving weekend to work on finishing the roof construction of the GreenShed.

The rafters and upright supports are now all in place and are being attached to the straw-bale walls. This roof structure will not only provide shelter from the elements but will give structural bracing to the walls so that they won’t tip over in the event of a strong Prairie wind.


The team is almost set to add the roofing sheathing and strapping before the metal roof and siding is attached.



















Charmaine working hard!
