Barb and I have begun the process of building an addition to our Cottage. The blog will be a visual and written journal of the progress. There may not be a daily entry but as progress is made posts will be made frequently. Estimates for completion are from four to eight months.

Day 138
Houston, we've got rafters...
This morning the first rafter was nailed into place alongside the dormer on the left of the addition...during the day all the rafters for the road side of the cottage were in place. There is a good chance that by the end of this week we could be under roof (the felt paper on the roof).
It's a bit of a struggle to get the 2/12's cut and hoisted to Derek to be nailed. Measure another rafter, yell the measurements to Rick at the saw on the ground, buzz, buzz, buzz, hoist the rafter to Derek.
From a photographic point the options available to shoot are becoming smaller and smaller. Not sure I'm ready to be walking across the rafters, don't think I'll ever be. I will keep working on getting the pix that show the progress...
Another 70 degree day predicted for tomorrow...
