Caleb <foreground> and Peter <back> strutting their stuff, moving a big rock that was in the way of the foundation.
Heather with her house. Some assembly required.
Heather's butt. She's working at leveling two concrete patio blocks at the bottom of the hole, to set the piers onto.
Piers in, beams on, ready for the floor!
Heather, very proud of her first wall.
Heather's second wall, with window!

The fourth wall, from the inside.

Our dog Zeke teaches me to relax
That's all snow, slush, and rain in that tarp. Yuck.
The new loft joists, above, are great for holding up the tarp under wet snow.
Working in the snow can be picturesque
The very first rafter set goes up
Peter climbs down from a days work on rafters
A side view of the scafolding, roof rafters and the half finished typar job
Tarping it for the night.The rain will hopefully shed off much better now!
Went for a hike up Hunger mountain instead of working. Look at the pictures HERE
I used scafolding bolted to the sides of my house to stand on while cutting these rafter tails
Rafters! Finally got all of them on
