Rafters done
It's been pretty rainy lately and I've discovered that I'm a fair weather builder. But today, there was some clear, warm weather and I finished putting up the last of the rafters.

Rafters - day 4
For the past few days it has either been raining or I've been working on rafters. I cut 18 more rafters to size and shape and then today got some more installed. Only 4 more to go over the house and then the ones that overhang the gable ends will go up later.
