| The rafters are notched and overlay the ridge beam where they overlap at the top. A very strong structure. | Bruce starts to put the tongue & groove (T&G) on the front of the second story roof. | Rafter tails in the corner. One is used to support the other barge rafter. |

| The windows should arrive in about a week so the window and door openings are being framed out. | Looking at the front, second story rafter tails. | The highest ridge beam in the house is on the left. The right side of the roof was stopped short to allow for a shed dormer to be put in. |
