Come awn.. post them up!! Where are the photos of the roof build up?? I am suprised that no one has been asking yet... :p
Lee and all,
Sorry about the delay peoples :(
I have been experiencing some magnetic interference and unable to function at full capacity as some of you guessed some time ago.
I promise to post them tomorrow though, they are going away for a few days and that should give me enough time to do the posting :)
I also got the wireless router working now (Which we grabbed while camping at gettysburg) which is also responsible for some of the interference, combined with DW, MIL, her Niece and me ripping of finally's electrical cables :(
Oh yeah, I arranged another camping trip, in Ontario. We are leaving this Sunday until Next Friday ! Our first canadian Expedition indeed !
Huh.. What?? Ripping cables??
What you talking 'bout Willis?? :confused:
Humm, doesn't sound good, but the trip sounds good. :confused:

Hey.. it is 10:30pm and you only have like 90 minutes left my friend... :D ;)
Sorry about all the delay ....... I uploaded them to the PC at last, check the webshots page, they will be there one by one ....After half an hour :)
Started to upload them, a few are there, will take some time obviously to upload all those pictures.
I do not understand why I got the camera shaking some of the pictures :( Shame on me.

I showed the the roof to our next dooir neighbour and he was amazed at the quality and the difference. he had seen the old roof and did not think that it could be rebuilt like this !
It looks so amazingly beautiful ! I love it !!!!
it was a lot of work, but well worth it..
Whew..

Good god, in order for Birol to take all them pictures, Lee must have done all the work! :D
Unbelievable job Lee. Birol is lucky to have you as a friend and cohort.
I love your shop!
That looks amazing! Excellent job, guys!
Apparently you did not have to replace the wood in the sides of the roof. Am I right in thinking this is 3/8 or 1/2 inch plywood? Could you tell how it is fastened to the skin of the roof? I'm probably going to have to replace a couple of these pieces due to water intrusion and have not gotten into pulling it apart, that'll come later this winter. How heavy was the roof? Birol, how long is the box on Finally?
Anyway, Loved the pics, I'll check out the rest on webshots because I'm very interested in the process.
I think the sides were half an inch tick, not more, lee might think otherwise though, listen to him :)
Finall'y is a 10' PU, sot he roof was 10' long and 7'+ wide, forgot the exact dimensions now. We could take the roof off the PU easily and put it down and rotate it and put it on the platform Lee prepared. It was big and bulky but not super heavy, it is not light either. After putting the panels it got little bit tricky, we needed some help :)
Skin is held on by glue only, we used panelling glue, strong stuff. To get the sides, front/rear you need to undo the strips on the outside of the roof, and unscrew the aluminum channels. I might have to do that after a while as well.
Good luck with yours, feel free to shoot any questions you might have.
