Edge Metal and Cap Sheet installed! Roof Complete
Today the students and I installed the drip edge metal and 2nd ply (final) roofing! For the edge metal we placed a second 9"strip of Flintflash and set the edge metal in a bonding agent and primed the edge metal. We nailed the edge metal at a min. of 6"OC. We then laid the second and final cap sheet on the roof. On the cap sheet we nailed 16" OC at the 3 inch edge strip. We made one penetration for a 1 1/2 inch VTR. We placed the vent cap on top of the exist midply, placed bead of caulk and nailed it down with roofing nails. We then laid another 9" step of midply before placing cap sheet over it. We then beaded around the edge of the cap sheet and metal.

Fire block Completed
Today, Friday 2-14 the students completed the fire blocking at the 48-inch level. We discussed design issues for clothing storage, kitchen storage, and cooktop location today. A couple of cool ideas came forward. In regards to the clothing storage we decided instead of shelving next to the entry of the tiny home we would put a clothing closet.
In the kitchen, it was decided that we could integrate some type of storage into the 2x6 loft framing that could hold kitchen items. As far as the location of the cooktop burners. It was decided to move them to the right closer to the bathroom and placing a microwave above the burners allowing for an exhaust fan.
We still have not come up with a design location for the TV entertainment center.
This week we completed the installation of the plywood on the tiny trailer. The roof framing and the roof still needs to be installed. This week we had to repair the coop box, it was knocked off by a student leaning against it.
Also, a PO was placed with the UUSD for the materials needed to complete the tiny home!!!!!
