A long time ago and far far away, I was a roofer (This was before I grew a brain) and I worked a few in Telluride, Colorado.
We took a trip back there for Vacation recently and this one is still standing. Originally, it was built as the public library but it seems to have been converted to a youth center now. I worked a crew of three to roof it in winter. By Golly, did we ever shovel snow off that thing!

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

Around the other side of it stands a "gaurdhouse gazeebo" that I roofed alone.
Lots of flashing details went into this job.
*piffen... those are great looking roofs..was it a national mfr. or local ?have you worked with ATAS ?
*Piffin: Lots of thought and care in those projects. Nice work.
*I was working for a company then so no details on the manufacturer. It was a heavy gauge, epoxy tough finish, as I remember it, from a national manufacturer.I'm surprised at the fast response to the posting, guys
*Piffin, nice job, what a really cool place to work.
*You bet. Butch cassidy started his career there.
*Butch Cassidy started his career at a converted youth center? Or was is the library? I did not know that ;o)
*The first Bank he knocked off was in that last photo.
Piffin,
I was in Telluride this past summer on vacation. Stayed over the mountain in Oiray but we 4 wheeled back and forth over the pass. It's sure changed since my first visit back in the early 70's. I had to take out a loan just to eat lunch on main street. God's country though. Most awesome views up on those passes I've seen yet anywhere. Did you work there for long?
