The roofing crew is Hispanic and I love hearing the Spanish banter and their music, competing with the construction crew’s English language rock.

The weather, while not splendid, was certainly fine — no rain and above freezing.

Stewart arrived shorly after I did. The propane heater in the fifth wheel and gone out and he brought up extra space heaters. That crew deserves a warm night’s rest.

The final big glu-lam beam went in over a kitchen window, without the spectacular effort of the Great Room beam, but still no chicken feed.

Walking around the house I clearly see there are very few ordinary right angle corners which will make for a very striking final product, but framer challenges for the moment.

Nothing ordinary here.
