Sorry to everyone for the lateness of the post! Here's the latest and greatest on the DesignBuildBluff project! As you can tell from the pictures, we've begun to roof! Thanks to an amazing donation of roofing materials from Big D Construction, we've been able to put in our large array of T.J.I's, as well as some very sweet looking glu-lam beams and columns. Sweet sweetness. By the time most of us left on Saturday, we had nearly half of the T.J.I.'s installed, as well as all of the columns and half of the beams. We're moving right along!



Beautiful column connection detail. Matt and Hunter were amazing at putting the columns up!
This strapping is what keeps our adobe walls tied to the framed walls. Basically, it's keeping our house standing up. That, and a lot of prayers, love, and hope. ;)
Hunter and Matt work their magic with the columns.

Gorgeous.

Me! On the roof! No hands!

Monica and mortar make a good mix.
Roughing it!

Fun and games on the roof!
