The First Floor Rafters are Up

The first floor roof is now up, at least the rafters are. Under the capable supervision of Paige Ardizzone, her father, Chuck, and I went up to the lake in late April and put up the rafters and took inventory of what materials and tools were there.

We did not put up the OSB panels yet, we hope to do so this summer. When the blueberries begin to ripen we will head back up and take the four-wheelers in. Mine is still at Fred’s on the East shore of Lake Louise and Fred’s is there too. The country is to rough to travel alone safely, at least if you are an old gimp. I also need to take up 50 feet of 7/32 winch cable for my old Honda. I broke the cable and need to put all new on instead of patching it. Having a winch can make a difference between walking back out and riding.

As soon as I find where I stored the images of the rafters on the front of the place, I will post them.
