Another unusually chilly and windy November morning on Colemans Lake. I spent most of my time sitting by one of the two fires we had going!
-
- Miguel throws a few pieces of scrap on the fire in front of the cabin
-
- around back we have a second fire going
-
- a lovely spot on such a blustery morning!
The crew continued to put down the tongue and groove on the roof and to close in the front dormers today.

- Miguel and Raymond continue to work on the roof while Carlos closes in one of the dormers
-
- Talon frames in the middle dormer window…this will be the upstairs bathroom window
-
- a template for the arched window is made
-
- Carlos and Raymond begin to place the dormer rafters
-
- a second rafter is in place
-
- from the inside of the middle dormer, Talon works on framing the arch for the window
-
- Talon has quite the array of hats but this is still my favorite
-
- looking up and the second floor dormers and tongue and groove that was just placed on the roof
-
- OSB is put on the middle dormer
-
- Talon and Gordo continue with the dormer rafters
-
- more progress on the dormer roof thanks to Talon
While most of the crew worked up on the roof, foreman, José, and our multi-talented electrician, Andy, worked on building the frames for the wall of windows in the great room while Dave and Mr. Lipham discussed our ideas for our fireplace.
