The plan is to cut enough lumber to close in the second floor, including headers and framing for the windows.

Nancy checks things out for the header.

Saw station set-up under cover.
100_0342cr.jpg
Next!
100_0343cr.jpg
Everything's cut.
100_0344cr.jpg
So let's call it a day.
100_0346cr.jpg
A long Forth of July weekend begins. It looks like Flynnie has arrived.
100_0349cr.jpg
Lumber is ready and Peter gets the belt loaded.
100_0351cr.jpg
And the weather is New England nice.
100_0352cr.jpg
Time for a little thought.
100_0353cr.jpg
There's Paul with the nail gun again. Did he take that thing home with him the last time he was here?
100_0357cr.jpg
Nancy and Kathy work on headers.
100_0359cr.jpg
Nancy and Kathy still working headers and Paul and Ryan work the roof.
100_0360cr.jpg
Ryan rests at the peak.
100_0361cr.jpg
Bella takes a break.
100_0364cr.jpg
Bet and Mary look on, waiting for their turn on the nail gun.
100_0365cr.jpg
Paul and Ryan continue filling the nail gaps.
100_0366cr.jpg
Ryan pulls some misses.
100_0367cr.jpg
Looking pretty good. Peak is closed up. There are a few bumps, but they will be worked out during shingling.
100_0369cr.jpg
The plan is to get a blue tarp on the roof. With shingling to start soon, the roof needs to be kept dry.
100_0370cr.jpg
Looks easy enough.
100_0371cr.jpg
100_0374cr.jpg
100_0375cr.jpg
100_0377cr.jpg
100_0379cr.jpg
100_0380cr.jpg
Almost there.
100_0381cr.jpg
Hurry, Pete, it's blowing away.
100_0382cr.jpg
100_0383cr.jpg
100_0384cr.jpg
100_0385cr.jpg
Just about covered.
100_0386cr.jpg
Some minor adjustments and we're there.
100_0388cr.jpg
Ryan's all tied up at the moment. The tarp isn't going anywhere – at least not without Ryan.
100_0393cr.jpg
It's a wrap!
100_0398cr.jpg
Time for a little fun.
100_0401cr.jpg
Part of the crew winds down.
100_0403cr.jpg
Jump ahead to the next morning. Amanda looks excited about something.
100_0406cr.jpg
And it begins.
100_0408cr.jpg
Betty and Mary working the gun. (Does Paul know they're doing this?)
100_0415cr.jpg
Funnel end-wall framing in good shape.
100_0420cr.jpg
Peter and Paul watch as Ryan climbs up with the calibrator.
100_0421cr.jpg
They must not have liked the wall, because now it's down. Actually, the picture is out of order; we don't know how that happened. Or was the wall raised, lowered and then raised again? Isn't that the bottom plate for the wall?
100_0425cr.jpg
Roof cover secured.
100_0428cr.jpg
Peter checks plumb.
100_0430cr.jpg
Hit it right there.
100_0432cr.jpg
Peter puts a clamp on to temporarily secure the wall.
100_0434cr.jpg
It's still standing, so let's take a break until the morning.
100_0438cr.jpg
Yep, looks good.
100_0441cr.jpg
Time for a little fun. It's 4th eve.
100_0449cr.jpg
Keep it up, Nancy. You know I'm taking pictures, don't you?
100_0454cr.jpg
Wall almost sheathed. Windows will be cut out later.
100_0470cr.jpg
Yard end from the funnel.
100_0472cr.jpg
Window end.
100_0473cr.jpg
Flynnie departing on 4th of July.
100_0476cr.jpg
So the weekend ends.
