Step 28 - Preparing to Construct the Peaked Roofs

                       THERE IS A LOT INVOLVED IN BUILDING A ROOF, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM

                                        
                                             First, the rafters are rough sanded           Next, they are washed with a clorox solution
                                               

 
    After drying overnight, they are sanded with medium sandpaper.                              Then they have to be fine sanded.

         

                  Next, they are painted with primer and dried.                                Finally, they are ready to be used.
