Bob setting up the forklift under the south peak. The first thing the guys did was put the last piece of fascia backing near the top of the west gable.
While up in the forklift crate, Jeff took a few pics of the underside of the roof. Here you can see the bottoms of the TJI rafters and the blocking material near the bottom.

Another view of one of the brackets.
     
 
Next, they finished off the top of the gable wall sheathing. The last piece needed a scribed cutout for the ridge pole. Jeff drew the scribe line on the OSB piece and Bob cut it out with his jigsaw.
After doing so many scribes in the flooring around the poles, they must have gotten really good. It only took one try and it was a near perfect fit! Needless to say, they were both pretty surprised.
     
 
Bob was happy about that.
Cutting off the excess underlayment.
     
 
After the SmartTrim was nailed up, they decided to continue on this side of the house and install the steel gable trim.
Setting the first section flush with the bottom edge of the roof sheet.
     
 
Checking the dry fit.
With the trim section set aside, butyl tape goes down to provide a watertight seal along the top edge.
     
 
Marking a line for a tab that will get cut and folded under the adjacent drip edge to close up some of the gap at the corner.
Finally, screwing it in place.
