Almost a roof...


Finished the framing & rafters for the loft and laid the ship-lapped flooring down so I could start on working on the roof rafters.



Putting the rafters over the loft was easy. Toe nailed the front rafter and then the back rafter. Put the ridge board up and only nailed it once on each rafter.



Put the second set of rafters up and nailed in place. I did make a mistake and nailed the wrong front rafter in place. Stepped back to take a look and saw my error. I guess the mind goes when you are baking in the sun.



CORRECT rafters installed and started working on the beams for the porch



Installed some of the front siding and installed the windows temporarily to get them out of the way.



Inside view looking up to the loft.



Starting to cover the cabin.



Took about two hours of fighting the tarps in the wind to enclose the structure. Forecasting rain for the next few days.
