constructing the roof

Time to get started working on the roof.

This is me, making "seat cuts" for the roof joists to rest securely on the headers.

I cut lengths of edgings, Charles nailed them down, and then we cut the ends off of each section so they would be even.

First half of first panel done.

Our friend Isaac was a great "go-fer."

When we had enough done so we couldn't reach any more from the inside, Charles braved the heights and nailed the rest down from the topside. He found that he got better traction if he went bare-foot and wet the wood down slightly with a spray bottle. But he still made sure he kept a rope tied securely around his waist.
