The New Roof


We were able to frame the new clerestory monitor with reclaimed material from the removal of the original roof.  You can see the old roof joists re-used at the top of this photo.


The layers of the new roof are shown here. At left is the layer of insulation. To the right, the coverboard and sheathing. And, to the far right, the roof membrane is being laid.
















There was a rush to have the roof complete before the rains began. Several of Tim Ryan Construction’s roofers worked in the pouring rain to finish the roof. As a side note, our roof surface is white to reduce the urban heat island effect. (Please see the previous post about our sustainability goals and approach.)
