Day 62: More about the roof

The roof work continues. Of special interest to me in this photo is the bow in of the wall. The bow was larger, but Roger was able to pull it back to a 16" deflection in. But the rafters have been built out so visually the bow should be a little less noticeable.

Now to a photo similar to one you'll see often. The light coming through the separation is just too hard to resist and not put up again and again. But there is a good reason here and that is the opening at the peak of the roof. When the roof is complete it will look the same. Roger is planning to put a transparent cap on the roof which will let more light into to second floor of the barn. That added light should be of great help during the day. Also it might create some interest with the lights on in the black of the night.
