Today we installed rake trim and base angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
To attach the base angle, we used a hammer drill to make holes in the slab and then used special concrete screws.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rake trim goes on the top of the gable ends to attach corner trim. The base angle goes around the perimeter to attach siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is not the right saw for this operation. It melted the plastic throat plate inserts and now I have to order replacements.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The provided parts had to be field-cut, so I improvised and used my miter saw with a meta cutting blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Everywhere the plans called for field cutting, it really seemed like the parts could have been prepared this way but the manufacturer was cutting corners.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also used an angle-grinder for the detail work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The slots in the rake trim require special screws with smooth setback collars on them to ensure the steel can move even when the screw is tight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rake trim has slots so the gable corner trim can expand and contract independent of the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more materials are used, the job site becomes tidier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have to give the lifts back next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
