As the morning mist was lifting, we were awakened from a comfy sleep by the drone of the compressor outside our window. The crew had arrived early to complete their work before the crane appeared.
In a few hours they would be placing all the support beams in the second story. The huge ridgepole went first.
Then a huge section of second story wall was coaxed into place. Every component is cut so close to the required size that piecing them together is like doing a complicated 3-D puzzle. It made for a couple hours of fascinating viewing.
Now the cross beams (forgive my terminology!) were put into place, followed by the valley beams. The outline of the roof is really taking shape.In our next post, Bonney and Jeff do some exploring.....
