Bar B Q area Sept-Oct 2009

Here is the completed roof from a distance










Another look at the ridge detail.







Here's how the ridge is cut and secured









Installing the barge covers gives this roof a completed look














Here's Rico installing the barge rake covers while I talk with an electrical bidding contractor about another project.



A copper wire is secured to a copper nail and driven into the overhang as well as onto the ridge with a copper wire to secure the ridge, the side to side and at the facia. There are no other nails holding this bamboo roof together. The entire structure is secured with copper wire as shown here.








this is the copper tieing that was done to secure the bamboo roofing. This is a fastening system I used when installing high end japan style roofing systems where I wanted to show the exposed copper fastenng detail.













Here's a picture of what you'll see from a distance at 5:30am today on Oct. 22, 2009 We should finish the roofing today.













We had to cut copper wire in preparation to secure the bamboo to the roof.


Then we got the bright idea to Hawaiiana the roof. Rico and I went to Waimea falls to cut down some bamboo that was donated to us. We cut it and shaped it to become our new look.











Here it is with the new roofing on it







Here it is as It's set and ready to secure.













And after a few minor adjustments






We prepare to set it in place






We do a temporary placement of the structure and prepare to dig the footing. Here's Rico working hard.









It is now upright and ready to moving onto the property




Here we showed up during September 2009 with a roof structure designed to create shade a little ambiance and an additional table for the BarBQ area
