Ridge beams and rafters

As the leaves fall off the trees we are all anticipating winter. All the more reason to keep the progress up. The first rafters at the east end are up and we intend to move rapidly west. Once the roof sheathing goes on and the seams are taped we will be out of the rain and snow. Speaking of snow, we had some very wet snow on sunday 18Oct. Monday we arrived to 1/2" of ice on the floor deck. Should have brought our skates. Fortunately it was warm enough to melt most of the ice. Tuesday and wednesday were warm also, almost like Indian summer, so much progress was made as you can see in the following photo. It's starting to feel like a house. The view is really improving with the leaf fall but we know the nice weather won't last. So think snow up north but nice weather down here in Hancock.
