Lofty Rafters

Greg put the loft up so he could stand on it while putting up the roof rafters. I have to take a video so you can see how he gets those big rafter beams up there all by himself! We couldn't help much today. We are recovering from a yucky stomach virus. But we're hoping to do 2-3 work days per week from now on, since we were on such a long hiatus for the month of November. Greg is done with his other project for a little while, so he will have more time to help, too! This photo is looking from the south side, through what will be the door into a future addition:

 Those diagonal braces will not be plastered over, to give it a more rustic look:

 Greg in the loft... as you can see, we won't be able to stand in it!
