It was pretty cold the last couple of days but we got the rubber roofing done. We used tapered roof insulation to pitch the water towards the deck openings and away from the walls. It comes in 4x4 sheets....some sheets taper from 3" to 2" others 2" to 1" and then 1" to 1/2". The half walls are going to get lowered and then a short railing system on top to code height with full height railings at the openings. We will be trying a, new to us, deck system on top of the rubber roof.
Last picture is the front elevation of this "summer home"... the room over the garage is "Huuge"

Thanks ...It is a good product...the sheets can be stacked and arranged in a way to get optimal drainage. The job we did required pitching in two directions towards the deck openings and away from the half walls.
Cant really tell from the pictures but there are subtle "valleys" where the different pitches meet to direct the water out. We sub these jobs out usually but we decided we could control the quality better by doing it ourselves.

We have a couple of large houses underway...along with half a dozen smaller houses. This one will have five full bathrooms, three fireplaces, three car garage, five bedrooms, custom stairway and balcony, Kitchen cabinets are being custom built......$$$$$
The jobsite was a sea of mud this week after the snow melt and rain.
We go in after the framers are done to "fine tune" (fix) things.
Picture from the second floor balcony over looking the great room.
This will be my fourteenth year working for this company.....I have worked with the same three good guys, carpenters, the whole time.
No new hires since I started, which is unusual in construction.....most other places, workers come and go, like through a revolving door.

sounds like a good company to work for, especially having all that work.
