If you've been following this blog, you'll know that we already celebrated the raising of the highest beam in the house. But outside the house there is a section of the roof which extends upwards past the ridge beam. So today John and I raised the highest beam on the structure, which is technically not "in the house." So, no party, but it is very exciting to have now installed every beam that will be installed. Tomorrow and probably one more day should be enough to finish cutting and installing rafters, then plywood will go on the roof, and very soon we can have everything protected from weather, which will be a considerable relief. The photos aren't the easiest to make sense of, it was getting dark when we knocked off for the day, but soon there will be rafters which will clarify how the roof slopes run. The second photo shows the beam and also the scaffolding we brought up to help us get the beam in place. (The first photo was taken from the top of the scaffolding).
