Dan returns to Lovango this weekend from 4 weeks away, just ahead of hurricane Danny. There was good progress on the roof in his absence. Forecast is for Danny to arrive Monday evening with winds around to 50-60 mph. Conventional wisdom holds that open buildings (like ours is now) are less prone to damage, particularly from lift which can be catastrophic. Standing by and hoping Danny at least brings some much needed rain.

| Current predictions of hurricane Danny show a likely direct hit of a weakening storm. |

| Detail of rafter tails. And, in the background, a good look at how dry things are. Not much foliage. |

| Detail of interior of roof. The first layer of the roof is pressure treated 1 x 6 v groove which leaves a nice look on the inside. 3/4" pt plywood is laid over that, followed by a waterproof membrane and then aluminum roofing (musket slate color to try to blend in with surroundings). Note also the hurricane ties and straps. Virtually every connection point is reinforced. |

The upstairs roof is almost complete. Still open on ridge-line while we await special brackets to tie in the hip rafters. The blue material is a waterproof membrane. The aluminum roofing has been ordered from FL and will be applied over this.
