Timber Frame: Roof Rafters

A cool clear start to the day brought the timber framers to the yard at 6:30 this morning.  By 10:30 their work was done.  We have a finished timber frame!

Ken has already started working on the next step; the lumber on the truck is to close in the top of the structure to provide a base for a metal roof.  Stay tuned ~

    Great idea.

    What a great job they did. We watched This Old House this weekend and they were doing some timber framing in a house.
    What a neat location for this little building.

    Sooo glad the weather cooperated for the framing completion. The building looks great! May good weather days and available time coincide in the coming months so work can progress.

    That's really coming along. Maybe they can swing by our place once they're done over there. *wink*

    I missed so many posts! But I'm caught up now and impressed with the progress on the "shed." I was hoping for a gazebo:) Gorgeous pics of the ocean make me long to visit my boys.
