Words of the Wise Acres

A diary of the projects, hurdles, rewards and family life at we recorded at Wise Acres, our former homestead in Horsefly, BC. (Careers and teenagers have forced us back into the city, at least for a little while.)

The Cabin - Part 5: The Roof

Posted by Erich at 2:35 PM
In the weeks since I last posted, I spent one weekend fastening the rafters, and the next weekend Damon, plus my neighbors Reiner and Florian, came over to help add the strapping, then the roofing tin.


Where the rafters are exposed, where they extend past the end of the building, we had the strapping laid out contiguously so you can't see the tar paper under the tin. It's gives those spaces a by warm look.


Today I nailed some 1x2's to the inside of the rafters to hold onto our blockers, which we need to fasten next. I'm glad we got the roof on before the snow really started.

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas together!

    A roof that is in top shape should have good insulation and a proper ventilation system which will keep your home’s indoor temperature steady. This helps to keep your home more comfortable and can significantly cut down on energy costs. Refurbishments Didsbury
