I shot a few pictures of the roof from the inside, for anyone who can't resist roof photos. It looks a bit complicated, but it's really not....at least to people who design and build roofs...
This is looking from just inside where the front door will be, toward the back of the house, where the kitchen will be.....
In this shot you can see the big metal trough which is placed under a roof joint at the bottom of a "valley". I suppose that T bar thing is there to support it?
Close up of the support beams. Again you can see one of the metal troughs up there.
Looking towards the front. That big open triangle will be the gable over the front porch. It will have a big louvered vent to allow the hot air to be expelled. When the roof spaces are properly vented the air can come rushing out of the vents like a jet engine when the weather is really hot.
Nobody was impressed with my blanket...? Fuck me, you guys are hard to please....
