Temporary roof for winter

After a long summer of trying to find log suppliers and dwindling money, we reluctantly had to cap off the roof until 2011 when we were financially able to get back to work.

 Angelo looking across the floor joists to the first wall we put in. This would eventually be the mid-point of our shed roof covering the whole basement.

The bare frame of our shed roof. Along with the 2x12 roof rafters, the majority of the lumber used in this project will be salvaged to be used when building our log home.

No good pictures of the completed cap handy. Once the roof and walls were up, though, we had to scrape and shovel about 8" of snow and ice from the floor into the corner where the drain is.

Cap completion celebration party! We had to stay pretty close to the converted oil barrel that was our wood stove as it really didn't put out much heat and our walls/roof were completely uninsulated. Still, much fun was had by all.
