Hey all....
Just a quick update the main part of the roof is on.
Hope for better weather Sunday.
It never fails weather man called for showers and as soon as i set up to start working is started raining.
I managed to plow forward in the rain and got the roof on , not near finished but panels are on.

Looks great!! What is the height of the Cupola? 10 X 12 Shack and I'm adding the cupola this weekend

Hi..
Total heigh is 13 feet .I went 36 tall before the trusses went on and 60 inches long with a width of 32 inches. I used 2x6 as a hinge board on bottom so it's nice and strong .total opening size is 27x57 so doors I'm thinking will be26x56 a little odd sized due to miss calculation on framing .Lol Here is another pic of what I have completed so far20160923_174532.jpg

Thanks!! It will be a board of rough sawn (no windows) 8" x 44" long hinged and on a pulley system both sides. I positioned it directly above the evaporator.

Still have to do the trip work and metal roof

[JeffB]

How big is ur evaporator after research I found from alot od people it is best to go at least
1.5 times the size of your evaporating pan surface .
It would be alot of work to change if steam will not exit fast enough for you

[johnpma]

2 X 3 pan size easy to change if needed I also have double doors the way I framed it I could add end venting too

Got the metal roofing and cap temporarily screwed in place lots of rain coming so wanted to button it up the best I could the overhang should keep the rain away until I can get back up there

poor quality pic-sorry
