unless you are on the roof.

Skateboarding anyone? Yvonne on the roof.

Almost ready for the roof

Bending the cooling material to the right shape takes some muscle.

Nailing the hot fascia

The weathter turned cooler and it made the fascia work more difficult. The pieces cooled off more quickly as they installed it.

Shaping the fascia

Threading the fascia material into the 'heater' to soften it. At 150,000 BTUs it still takes about 20 minutes to heat the material enough to shape it.









Four guys handle the hot material as it comes out and is shaped over the pre-built template of the curve.
