Pop and I were alone this weekend, as Mark had surgery on his hand on Thursday. We worked on getting some windows in place and putting up more plywood. The easy plywood has all been put up, so now the plywood attaching is difficult (sometimes scary).

Up high on shaky scaffolding

(building the scaffolding was a mini project unto itself for me and Pop, something Kevin would have probably knocked out in 2.5 minutes) The tarps are almost off. I say that because the super heavy canvas tarps are still wadded up on the roof, but not covering anything. They are just so heavy I’ll wait and move them later. Since the tarps are not hiding the loft balcony anymore, I took a panorama shot of the south east side of the house. You can tell I took the pictures from right to left because I have fewer ‘missing’ areas on the right (east) side. Click on the picture below to bring up the full sized image (about 870k download).

South East Panorama

Also, last week Pop worked on the corbels on the west side and I finished up the plywood on that side as well.

Here is a panorama shot I made while standing on the roof rack of Pop’s truck. Click the picture to get the full sized image.

It is a big image, so open your browser all the way up and zoom out to see the whole thing.

The skeleton of the frame is complete. There are just a few (relatively few) pieces of plywood left to hang. Kevin was here on Saturday and kept us all working like fiends.
