More roofing

We had very nice weather over the weekend, which helps a lot when trying to build a house. We've made some more progress, so here are some updated pictures.

Here, Dana and Leonard are working on the blocking for the north side of the roof. The dormer in the picture will be the master bedroom window.

They got the facia board up and the blocking completed on that section. You can see in this picture a big tarp on that south side dormer. Dana and I got that up last weekend before the rains hit. There is one spot on that dormer where water keeps leaking in somehow and running down one of the logs in the living room. It's driving me crazy! We also covered all of the door and window openings with some plywood to help keep the rains out this winter, remember it rains sideways here! We've still got so much work to do there's no way we'll get the windows in before the real winter weather hits.
Here, Dana and Harvey are up on the roof on the south side of the house. Getting ready to put up the facia board and start the blocking on the back side of the house.
Since Harvey was up on the roof all day, I got to baby-sit his little ones. They are very easily entertained and we had a fun day. Much easier than being up on the roof!
Poor Hagen...both girls have been a little shy with him, I think because he's so big. But today they had no problems crawling on him and posing for pictures with him!
Here's the guys putting the 2X8's up. My dining room is directly below this section of the roof they're working on. Harvey's up on the peak and Dana is working from the bucket on the manlift.

Ok, the peak of the roof is 27' in the air. That's my husband way up there in the manlift bucket. Crazy man!
Dana and I spent all day Sunday puting up A35 brackets. The entire back side of the house has now been completed (just as far as brackets go) and we started working on the front. We had to quit last night about 5:45 because it was too dark to see anymore. I hate winter time!
