Course 11 is up and Roofing Lumber is Delivered

1 more course (4 logs to go...) Needless to say Jeff is tired of stacking logs and so glad to be almost done. With the hopes that maybe he could get the logs stacked before the first big snow of the season and wanting to take advantage of a good price on lumber, we went ahead and ordered wood for the rafters and t&g for the ceiling. So, just getting that stained and moved up to the house site was a lot of work, but it was exciting to see the rafters all stained and in their finished form. We still have a lot of t&g to stain, but have since bought an airless sprayer to make it go a bit faster. I say we, but I mean Roberto, our laboror. Unfortunately, the snow arrived before we could finish and get the crane out to place the rafters, but that's the way it goes. As I write this, the snow is coming down fast and there is about a foot on the ground already. So, the wood is covered and Jeff plans to use the chain hoists to pull the rafters up. Can't be much more difficult than the logs, but there are 36 of them and it will no doubt be a slow process. But, finally Jeff is forced to take a break for a few days, staying inside, watching the snow come down. Looks like we'll be able to be working on the roof by the new year.
