Andrew and Bill were a little giddy last night after having overcome probably the most daunting task of the house building process, hoisting the 8-10 ft. ridge beams to a height of 20 ft. in the air. They were able to manage by first bringing a borrowed scaffolding up into the loft, and working from that.

The cob/cordwood crew (Mom and kids) are working on the last full wall section while Dad and Andrew get the roof on. Once the roof is in place, then work can proceed on the floor, gable ends and roof insulation. All 3 of those areas will need a large amount of clay slip/sawdust.
