Framing the walls



The challenge of the week has been putting my odd windows that I found in various shops into my existing plans.  While I really like many of them, some of them have to be left out due to overenthusiastic procurement.  Sigh. 

Last week I laid out my walls, and this weekend my friend Wendy, an experienced builder, and Max, a young friend willing to try anything, helped me put up my frame.  With rain in the forecast for tomorrow, I will be working on getting the house covered tonight.  I should be sheathed in by next week, and water-resistant, but until then, it's a little stressful.
