Sleeping cabin






It rained all evening and all night and was still raining when we got up. The guys couldn't work in the rain so we decided to go to Perth for breakfast and to see the town's old stone buildings.
Had a good breakfast, walked around a bit in the rain and drove home.
By the time we got home the rain had stopped so work began.
The goal today was to put the gables in and get the roof plywood and ice and water shield up so that if it rains the guys can still work.
The rain stayed away and, though it was cool, we had mix of sun and cloud so Rick and all got into a good routine and finished roof plywood, ice and water shield and the strapping for the steel roof. The roofing steel should come tomorrow. But as is the cabin will be dry inside.
Tomorrow Rick wants to work on the gazebo so the rest of the roofing will wait for a bit.
The photos show the rafters complete, the gables in place, the first plywood sheet on the roof, the partially completed north side of the roof and Rick.
More tomorrow.
