Decking and Roofing

We got the front part of the roof framed and sheeted.  Eric is bringing up a friend this weekend that is a good roofer.  That's when we hope to finish up all of the framing and sheeting of the roof.  In addition to the new portion of the house, we are doing a full tear off on the existing roof so we can insulate.  This is a shot I took looking into the new master bedroom while sitting on the existing ridge beam.  Needless to say, all of these angles are giving us a challenge.... as if the project in itself wasn't a challenge.

We are turning our attention to the deck.  Bonnie and I got the posts cut and a couple of the beams put in place.  This is a shot from the master bedroom balcony looking down.  Hopefully by getting the deck in, we will have a flat surface to work from.  The slope of our lot still makes it difficult to move materials around.  With the window order in process, we will hopefully have an easier time installing with some flat surfaces to level the ladders.

 We are starting to reap the bounty of our garden.  Bonnie and Finn picked the first fruit of their labors.
