Looking for the pot 'o gold

Look quickly!

...because it's only there for fit and is being taken down since it's unfinished wood. But still a fun milestone. :-)

Timeout!

We feel that we must take time out from our "little" project to appreciate life. While many people ask us, "when will it be done?" the answer is always the same. "When it's done." We aren't taking the speedy route, but we are taking the happy, minimal-stress route. So, when the sky is this beautiful, you must take time out to appreciate it and everything else in life.

A new pinstripe suit

Well, either we are laying out fabric for a new charcoal gray pinstripe suit, or we now have a watertight roof.  Woot, woot, woot! No more bucket brigades if it rains. Big, big stuff.

Bill has been referring to this step as "getting paper on the roof" so I imagined something similar to what is under the siding, a much lighter weight Tyvek-type product. While that never seemed like enough to make the roof watertight, I didn't ask, since he's the professional and I just work in an office, so what do I know? I certainly don't know the significance of the stripes, but it sure looks like suit fabric. This is the closest we will get to either of us wearing pinstripes, I think. ;-)

Beauty is in the details

Even though I've been watching Bill build fabulous stuff for 20 years now, I am still in wondrous awe of the beautiful details that he puts into his work. These pieces will be stacked narrow on top of wider, and then installed in the eaves for an extra beautiful detail. This is truly his artform.
