What happens here

The roof system is next to be installed. It features sturdy 2x6 construction for the rafters and a galvanized steel roof, ensuring durability and weather resistance. The upper (clerestory) windows are integrated into the roof structure, designed to let in ample natural light. The panels are carefully lifted onto the top plates of the walls and secured, followed by the installation of the metal roofing sheets.

Goal: Install the roof structure, covering, and upper windows
