The Build Goes On

There's been a lot of wind and more rain since my last post but we managed to get the last of the purlins up in the garage and all purlins and joists are screwed at each end.

For the last couple of days we've started adding ceiling joists to the house half. These 17 joists are over the future kitchen and TV room.

Since these photos were taken Hal has also added some wall corner bracing because the structure is becoming top heavy.

We are taking the day off today because it's cold, still windy, and Hal's feet need a break from climbing the ladder. Back to work tomorrow though I'm not sure if it will be more purlin work or fascia boards on the garage.
