We were very happy to have both Andy and José rejoin our team today! Despite a few snow flurries and crazy cold wind blowing off the lake, the crew started on schedule and began to close in the second floor dormers on the front of the cabin and to lay the first layer of felting on the roof.

- Andy, just back from Alabama, pops up on the roof to chat with Gordo

- Carlos and Talon work on the rafters over the Guest bathroom dormer while Nelson and Gordo put down the roof felt while Andy hangs out and drinks coffee 🙂

While around back, the fireplace box was being closed in, inside Dave discussed with Andy and José whether or not we could remove one of the off center rafters in the great room ceiling. In the end we decided to keep it even though structurally it would have been fine with out it, taking it out would be more of a hassle than it was worth. Andy pointed out that once the tongue and groove ceiling was in and the cross ties up, there would be so much going on up there that we wouldn’t notice it.
