Building Update #23: It Looks Like a House!

Jake has been gallantly struggling against the weather to get the roof sheathing on these past two weeks.  Every snow/ice/freezing rain storm that comes...and then melts...and then freezes causes at least a day of chipping ice or sweeping and vacuuming water out of the house.

The first trusses up (from three weeks ago).

All the trusses up, and most of the sheathing.

Jake measuring for the last truss blocking.

Up in the attic.

An almost completely weather-tight top.  Jake's roofing brackets down low and then toe-boards up high.  It would be appropriate to note that every time Jake was up on the roof, the blood pressure of his assistants (when he had them) would raise considerably.

Oh, and if your child doesn't mind lying on concrete, we offer babysitting services at the site on weekends.
