Between this shot and the last actual building time, I should have posted 14 pictures of rain since that's what was happening...loads of rain. What happened to the Indian summers we loved????! After rain and delays, we decided to hire out the 2nd floor to be completed by a real builder. Here's the work he did in 3 days...by himself! Note the very large beam holding the roof joists. I figure that 21ft beam weighed in at about 400lbs and two guys set it in place using no magic or mirrors.
