New Siding Over the Greenhouse

Showing scaffold and catwalk. Left side, October 2015.

Some of the siding on the RV Garage was failing. It was in the gable over the greenhouse, and I didn’t see a good way to get up there to work on it without damaging the greenhouse. The contractors we called had to give it some thought. One wanted to build a new post inside the greenhouse to support the roof, then rest a scaffold on top. Another planned to use some construction machinery, like a giant forklift, to position their workers just above the greenhouse roof while they worked on the siding. One never called back.

The one we hired used scaffolds on either side of the greenhouse, then built a catwalk over the greenhouse. When I saw it built, it looked easy. Until I tried to figure out how they got it up and how they were going to take it down – they had to do all this without touching the greenhouse itself. But they did, and they did a good job. Here’s the before picture:

We got it done (barely) before winter!
