"The window ended up being the one that overlooks the little deck."

"This strand of spiderweb stretched from the building into the trees on the east. It must have been 50 feet long."

"tyvek laid over the deck to protect it from the rain until we get the final rubber foor on. If you look at the text near the bottom of the tyvek, you can just tell that the deck floor slopes."

"This is what a SIP looks like. Later we'll enclose this edge."

"The inspector-required flashing along the bottom of the window, and the tape around the sides and top. Add the caulk, and the windows are pretty much air tight."

"We located a piece of SIP to use for the floor of the little deck, so we have an R-40 ceiling under the deck now. The height of the door is enough that we will have to put a step in the library."

"Compare the top of the cricket and the edge of the roof to see that they are now the same slope."

"The re-done cricket. The old one had a horizontal peak, which would allow ice to accumulate in the valley. The slope of this one forces the water to flow away without backing up under the roof shingles."

"The view from that upstairs bedroom."

"Detail of the inspector-required flashing."

"The joists are not cut out on the ends, so the timber framer used them for other projects while the pile of timbers sat in his lot for four years. He (kidding) told me there was an extra charge to make the new timbers look old and weathered like the others, so some of our timbers will look new."

"The first floor joists."

"Flooring ready to take inside."

"These babies are 16' long, so we wanted to get them as close to the entrance as possible. This guy was pretty good with his forklift."

"The floor for the upstairs. 8" tongue and groove."
