Backfill & Grading

 Things dried out enough for the septic folks to come back and finish the septic system fill & to backfill and grade around the house.

Gable End Framing

 Today's project was to frame the gable ends and I managed to finish both ends.

Each end will eventually get an octagonal window similar to this:

Rafter Blocking

 No rain today and I managed to get in all of the rafter blocking.

Tomorrow I hope to start framing the gable ends.

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.
