We made a fair amount of progress this weekend, and things are starting to look more and more up.
We took a break already after attaching a small piece of sheathing to the corner of the north wall; staring up at the very pretty blue sky and clouds.
Me nailing more pieces of sheathing to the north wall (also possibly the first picture here with me in it?)
All sheathing completed! This view is from the top northeast corner.
The same level of progress as above, this time from the opposite (bottom southwest) corner.
After very carefully checking every possible place on the walls and floor for plumb and level, we installed a single rafter; here the rafter is shown secured with both toe nails and hurricane clips.
We only have one rafter in, but the rest are cut. Here, we started putting tarps over the roof to keep rain out. We're worried that if we don't control the moisture problem, it will turn into a mold problem.
Sorry for the blurry shot here at the end, but this is dusk at the end of day 13: all sheathing complete, one rafter installed, tarps over the whole roof, and a whole ton of materials moved into the (hopefully now somewhat weather safe) house.
