Let's see. This past week was filled with a lot that doesn't lend itself to pictures.
The roof over the kitchen and dining area is the last to go on. THis is because that area will sport exposed beams and exposed boards overhead. All the boards that will form the ceiling and also the beams need to sanded and oiled before they get installed overhead.
ABove is the pile of boards, below the pile of beams.
The main problem has been that the cold came back and the oiling process just isn't made to happen in the temps we're having. Instead of vegetable oil consistency I have sticky honey.
On Friday I called off the efforts to oil, hoping for better weather this coming week. Instead, I worked on my own putting a little mini-rooflet on the dining room window seat area (seen here from the side with Jennifer about to ascend).
THe forcast isnt' for anything better coming up, so I think we'll put some plastic over the windows and see if we can warm the space just enough to get the oil flowing. Then we'll probably have to work under the temp tarp that you see here, to get things up...
In the meantime we've been working on lots of choices and orders that need to be placed as you can see here -- Jennifer's conemplating metal siding colors for the upper portion of the house that will be corrugated.
And here's the closest thing to sunshine that we had on Saturday.... and I mean that in everyway that you might imagine I would =; -)
