Re-roofing the back patio now that I have that nice extra width. Long time coming and want to get this done before it gets too hot.
I picked up the gavalume today along with some 1x4x12' purlins. 15 sheets of 3'x13' metal and 15 purlins. I learned something new today. Pressure treated wood is not good to use with metal roof panels because of a chemical reaction. So the ones I got from the roofing supply house were untreated.
Anyway.....on the way home after stopping at a light I get on the gas a little after the light turns back green and I'm looking back and the materials are further back than they should be so I hit the brakes and it doesn't help so I slowly pull off the road and as I do everything comes out and is laying on the ground.
No biggie, I pull out my lopping shears and cut the bands and hand load everything back in and then head home very carefully. Got home just fine.
So here's what happened. Last week I picked up a half pallet of sod. A little trick I do when I pick up sod on a pallet is spray the bedliner with spray lubricant, so the pallet glides in and out as needed.
Obviously that is probably why my load slid out today. My bed is 8' long and with the tail gate down that adds another 2' so the 13' long panels were laying on 10' flat bed and shouldn't have slipped anywhere.
I'm just glad it didn't land in the road...lol....
I'm making good progress on the job and post pics later. Here I am at the supply house all loaded up.....
And back at my place with some 2x4's I picked up at HD......
