The garage is growing and growing. It is expanding and getting higher and higher. This is a job I could never do. I am not afraid of heights (so I tell myself) but I have great respect for heights. My stomach curls in on itself when I see people up this high .One more way my Daddy and I are alike he respects heights as much as I do.
Lots of rafters to support a roof with no support from the floor.The only support are the pantry walls and the LVLs carrying the weight over to the exterior walls. This is a masterpiece of angles. Yes children; you will use geometry later in life.
The framers also built the wall for the entryway of the house. They did this with limber we already had laying around while waiting for garage lumber to be delivered. Bill and I were going to build this but having the framers do it kept them busy and on our job and not going elsewhere.There will be a wall built above it along the top with plant shelves and a secret door to allow us to go through and change light bulbs that will be above the porch.
It's official there is no room left in the garage for my car to park. Hopefully the roof will be going on the garage next week., There are no storms predicted in the near future so I should be parking under protection before any hail comes our way.
