Here is the results of a really nice sunny day, a day off work and lots of motivation to get this roof outlined!!
Ended up using 1x3s because my 3/4" pvc clamps go out 3", so couldn't use 1x2. It was tough to get this built without any nails, but I was able too. It doesn't look too bad in the day light, will look awesome at night!!
Tomorrow I'll be back at it trying to get the rest of the lights strapped down to the PVC. It is taking me about an hour for 100 nodes once I get into the swing of things. About 150 lights done today across the top, but the top part was the most work as that's the way I was able to get the frame to stay put (there is eye bolts drilled through the PVC and I have counter balances on the other side of the roof). And with the way I raised the frame off the roof in a few sections is great too because the rain can still run off into the eaves.
With any luck I will have a video for the roof tomorrow night...we will see!
