Steel frame for living roof.................
The frame slopes from front to back to an eventual gutter & downspout. A rain barrel will collect the runoff for use in the garden.
The tether is removed to be used for the next piece of steel.
Beams are then lowered & likewise bolted.
Columns are lowered by a huge crane on to bolts set in the concrete block piers. The bolts are then tightened.
