Session 1 on Sun Oct 4 included Gardner, Ingram, Kepner, & Koch.
Cleaned screw heads & removed banners, but decided not to tackle whole
roof, due to limited manpower on site.
 
So we set a second session for Oct 17. Steve says if we can get 8
people "on the job", it should go really fast.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, 1998, there was a meeting at the layout for the
express purpose of applying the rubberized roof. Present were Bob Soars,
Jim Ingram, Steve Kepner, Tom Martino, Lenny Hiltz and Lenny's grandson,
Mike Cole. (Hope I didn't forget anyone) Paul McMahon was also on hand;
Paul works for Steve.
 
Anyhow, things got rolling at about 0930 and by 1000 everyone was at work
taking the screws out of the old moulding. Next, we put up the 2 x 4's
with relative ease.
 
Then came the foam insulation. This was kind of a problem and, I'm sure,
Bob had to soak his knees when he got home. Bob did all the
cutting/fitting of the pieces. He did a real good job. All the pieces
were taped with Duc tape. There was some concern that we would not have
enough to complete the roof, but, in the end, we had probably had close to
1/2 sheet(in pieces) leftover.
 
While Bob and I were doing the foam, everyone else lifted the roll of
rubber to the roof; they had quite a struggle getting that load up. The
roofing was folded in half on the roll and is white in color. When
unfolded, the factory-cut edge was lined up on the front side, slightly
stretched, then screwed in place. We ran into a slight challenge with the
chimney, but a little teamwork solved it with little problem. We had
pre-drilled aluminum strips to screw into. It made for a really nice job.
After the first long edge, we completed the other "long" side, followed by
each end. It should be noted that, again, Bob used his skills to make some
neatly folded corners.
 
We found one inch-long hole in the rubber. It is located on the corner
near the weigh-station. A patch can be easily applied. I think Steve and
Jim were going to seal the rubber around the chimney on Sunday, at least
that was the plan.
 
Anyhow, that's about how it worked. We were done by 5:30 and had real good
teamwork and a good bit of fun also.
 
Now, we really have no excuse to make some real progress over the winter
(unless the furnace craps out!!!)
 
Remember, the next meeting is Oct. 26 at the Library at 7:00 p.m.
 
see ya!!!
