Whatever the weather...

Bleargh... it's been raining on and off (mostly on) since Thanksgiving, but despite the weather (and lack of my primary helper) Maggie and I soldiered on and managed to get quite a bit done. Most of the framing work can be done by one person and an extra pair of hands. Since she's pretty strong to boot, one side of the outer top plate is up around the entire barn, and we managed to almost finish building up 3 of the inside uprights all the way to the top (16ft!). If we can get another day or two like today, I might be ready to have a work bee on the weekend and get the rafters and trusses up. Of course I've said things like this in the past (the concrete comes to mind... oops. :S ) and haven't even come close, but it never hurts to be optimistic.
