The roofing panels clip together and screw down, but before we can do that, we need to deal with the lower edge of the roof: the drip edge flashing.
Sections are installed along the bottom edge, sealed at the seams, and screwed down to the roof deck. A seal-down strip is added along the bottom edge to seal the bottom of the roof panel to the drip edge.
Before installing the roofing panels, they must be modified to tie into the drip edge.
The edge seams need to be separated from the panel's bottom for about the first inch and a half, so he measures, squares up lines, and snips the bottom free so that it can be bent downward to create the interlocking hem.
The roofing panel slips in place, and he closes the hem with hand crimpers.
Clips are clipped onto the standing seam and screwed down to the roof deck. The next panel clips onto the seam, over the clips, and we’re back where we started.
As the crew works across the roof, they measure top and bottom to make sure they’re still square to the roof, and they keep rolling.
At the end of the day, the edges are covered with gable trim, and the ridge is finished with a wider trim for shed roofs.
Down on the ground, the masons are setting up to install some manufactured stone from Stoneworks on the remaining sections of the wall that have not been covered with cladding yet.
Before we can install stone, though, we need to install a couple of traditional stucco coats, beginning with a scratch coat and a brown coat. Before that, we need to install metal lath to the walls.
There’s a little bit that goes into the prep work.
First up, they install a weep screed at the bottom of the wall behind the rainscreen and WRB.
Next, they’ll install metal lath on the wall and wait for an inspection.
After the inspector gives the thumbs up, they add a scratch coat and a brown coat, just like with regular three-coat stucco, and now comes the manufactured stone.
Begin at the corner and alternate directions with each course. But don’t run up the corner just yet. Set the corner and the first course, and then set the second corner piece, filling some of the next course, and so on.
But let’s back up a little more and look at the jobsite setup.
Before sticking rocks to the walls, the crew sticks some site protection in place.
Blocks keep the scaffold from sinking into the flower beds and scratching the concrete, and the boss checks on this often.
They cover the stone path with strips of plywood and use drop cloths to protect the landscape from mortar, which they begin mixing now.
Jose begins working at an outside corner. You can see the weep screed at the bottom of the wall embedded in the first couple of coats of stucco. This allows water out of the assembly and if installed level, provides a guide for this first course of stone.
He uses a level to mark level lines atop each course he installs to keep it honest.
The dry stone is set in place to gauge the fit; the back is then buttered with mortar, and it is pressed in place. He works both sides of the corner, extending out as far as he can comfortably reach. In this case, it’s only a few feet over to the door in one direction and about a foot over to a stop where some exterior cabinetry will be installed in the other direction.
As with all stonework, the corners alternate in length. This first one extends to the right, the next one will extend to the left.
As he works his way to the top of the cabinetry block-out, he must consider the height of the stones to make a smooth transition.
Cutting the stone is done with a wet saw, also known as a tile saw.
The next obstacle is a window. Jose runs a course under the window, leaving enough space to place a window sill afterward. He uses small chips as shims to even up courses until they are set up.
At the top of the window, he again finds a stone height that will align and allow a smooth course over and into the corner.
Lastly, he fills in the top of the wall the same way he fills in the rest of the wall: dry fitting, cutting, buttering the backs, and placing the stones.
We’d like to thank all of the trade professionals who worked this season on Building Resilience, as well as the sponsors who sent the products to the jobsites so they’d have something to install.
Because without products or professionals to install them, this would be a pretty boring show.
And without viewers, it would be a complete waste of time, so thanks for watching, hit the like, comment, subscribe, and share this like crazy.
