Plywood placed and ready..

Most of the morning was spent running errands. We needed to pickup our remaining cross ties from HPM and some more Loctite PL Premium from Home Depot. Then we headed back home to our project. We finished off the section of joists that didn't yet have the cross braces yet. Then carried up a bunch of plywood and laid them down on top of our roof. We had just enough left over from our concrete project and some new ones that we could cover about 850 sq feet (79 sq meters). This will provide good rain protection once we place a tarp on top. However it hasn't really been raining very much the last couple of weeks. I even bought a rain gauge to show everyone here every day how much it rains, but last nights didn't accumulate very much to show any value.

Tomorrow we will start building some walls finally. We will start with the kitchen since there is no roof above it. It will have four skylights instead. We will have three windows instead of the original design of two windows. It would be odd not to have a window in front of the sink, so we decided an extra was worthwhile.

Thats a nice and level roof line. These engineered beams are incredible. They don't sag or droop in any way. Much better then standard lumber.

This picture half the plywood was in place.

Here we managed to reach some beams that we couldn't reach from underneath to screw to the big beams.
