Another rushed hour over lunch....

Ran over to the Nine Acre Wood at lunch today. The major milestone today was manhandling a full sheet of plywood (5/8" thick) from the loft out through the rafters and onto the roof. First piece, and although it was a struggle, it was fully successful(!)

I was glad that I had left one rafter out, so that there was enough room to heave the sheet of plywood onto the roof. At first I tried to shove it through one of the standard 14 and a half inch gaps. No way. The plywood, 4' x 8', got wedged under the main room beam. Fortunately I had not installed one of the rafters, so the board went through the wide gap just fine. Even more fortunately, it didn't go sailing off into the woods as I gave the final heave-ho. And so here it is, in all its glory, positioned on the southeast corner



Since on Monday I asked the question about the not-so-subtle redwood red overhang with the Foresty Green rafters, here's a view of the two together. What do you think? Ridiculous combo or "quite handsome" together?
