Another Day...Another roof piece

So now two of the four lower roof edges are welded in place.
The morning started much like the others, I sized up the steel and marked the cut line.


It always amazes me to see how fast the rust starts. That is the new piece that I installed a few days ago.




One the old was cut out, I cleaned all the rust flakes from the inside.


I wanted to take the new steel past the edge because the old was all bent and nasty looking.

After cleaning the area, I primed the inside that no one will ever see again.



Grinded and ready for prime

I welded the backing strip inside first.


And primed the entire area when finished


I tucked a tab into the side to give a better look


The sealer is on and one more side is welded in place. Next to drill and bolt it down.
