September 2009: The upper floor and the roof are built
After the
guest season we work another 10 days together with George and Carlos on
the main building. The joists for the upper floor are laid and the
floorboards affixed. Afterwards, another 4 rounds of logs are laid
before the gable and the roof are tackled. Hauling up and placing the
ridge pole needs a last major effort and elaborate technique.
Thereafter the interior roofing is done and covered with poly tarp
(vapour barrier). Finally, the gable frame is constructed and paneled
with thermo foil (wind barrier). Unfortunately, we couldn’t completely
finish the entire gable and roof construction before the onset of
winter and had to cover the roof with a large temporary tarp.
