Eve of the Pitched Rafters

 Rafters! It's starting to have an actual house shape!
 Ben and Jacob got the rafters measured and cut, then Jacob and I made some corrections on the rafters last weekend.  The part connected to the wall needed some adjustments to account for the width of the plywood for it to fit over nice and snug. Carinna helped hand Jacob supplies while he was putting up the rafters, and now the ridge beam now stands without any additional support.
Hurricane ties will also be secured to the rafters to reinforce them. The sheathing for the loft has been measured and cut and will be attached this weekend.

I would also like to specially thank Larry, owner of GreenLake Painting for letting us pick through his warehouse for free paint! We got some nice yellow and blue paint.
