Done! It's up! Time for the peak party!

Friday, 23 September, after 11 weeks building, Michael the Master Builder arrives at the peak, installs the last of 42 8 by 4 beams as rafters. It has been amazing to watch him work his way through planing, dressing, heaving, coaxing these beams into place. One set he actually heaved up onto the 8 foot platform by himself. This has been a display of strength and skill almost as impressive as an major athlete at work... And we are at the peak... So now we take two days off, after 14 consecutive days of work. It will be very cool walking down to the site to look over the completed rafters...
