Rubb, Inc. New Welding Shop Construction – Week 9

Now that all the main sheets have been pulled down over the framework, the next step is to lace the sheets together. There are two seams that connect two adjacent sheets together; one on the inside and one on the outside. Working from the top of the building down, the rope is threaded through the inside seam in a zig-zag pattern, and then pulled tight. Slack is pulled out of the rope in short sections, again working from the peak of the building down to the base. When the inside seam is tight, the process is repeated with the outside seam.

In Friday’s video, you can see Chris, Justin & Al working their way up and down the seams pulling them tight. Mid-afternoon a passing shower cuts work short.
