On Tuesday...

It started out as another cold morning, but warmed up pretty quickly. The Fuzz made a fire for the fingers, and then started on the 1x4's. Eventually the tin will be screwed down to these. As can be seen, the structure is quite light. The Fuzz is hoping he can get away with this since we have little snow load to worry about around here.
It was a slow go however, working in awkward positions up there. He had to work his way up from the edges, using the previous strip for support. He finished the first side by lunchtime, and took a break. The second side was a bit more difficult to get to, in the beginning. Below is a look at how things stood when he quit for the day.He still has to finish the two strips along the edges.
The long extensions to the rafters are too springy to nail into easily. Using screws instead seems to be working better though. And he still needs to deal with that troublesome tree.
This morning it is raining just a little. So The Fuzz and His Sweetie will go out and try a new Coffee Shop. After that, perhaps he can get started on the tin.
