wednesday, i returned to find the tarp blown off and a boat load of water standing on the floor. i removed the filter from the wetvac and sucked it all up real nice. lovely water.

thursday, i beefed up nailing about breaks in the double top plates. i cut & nailed the rafter plates. i also nailed a bunch more metal connectors.

friday, i nailed the rest of the metal connectors up. i cut & nailed blocking in the ceiling joist over the living/dining area. i started working on a rafter cutting jig before the cold got to me and i finally left.

notes:

keep breaks in the top plates away from studs/joists - they interfere with application of metal connectors. this is a good argument for inline framing.

also, look for alternate plate material. something real straight and tight. same with the ridge board. it'd really help things come together nice.
