We started the steel runs for both sides of the roof from the other gable end, the straight end. So when we got to this end we had to 'rip' a panel to about 1 foot wide for about 12 feet and then account for this point. To finish this off I had to add yet another small piece of steel to the point. Of course all of the finish work on this part is done while straddling the peak of the roof. A roof that is now totally covered with slick steel. I was wearing the rock climbing harness and I was roped off to BOTH sides of the building in case I slipped.

The point was especially fun because once I got the drip edge on and the roofing and the ridge cap, I went down on the ground to 'admire' my work. From that vantage point I could see the ridge cap sticking out squarely over the end of the point. and there was a real nice hole under the ridge for birds to get into. (Which is now closed up with some white aluminum coil stock from the shop.)

So how does a person get up there to work on that??? If you put the ladder on the barn wall, you're 4 feet away from the point. And I guess you could get back up on top of the roof and lean over the edge. While roped onto the slippery roof, 25 feet in the air....

I took the tractor around to this end of the barn and put the ladder in the bucket. I had to have the ladder's legs straddle the peak. If someone would have let the loader down when I was up there, I was looking at a FUN ride..
