Since our last posting, the framers have put the floor onto the 2nd floor, and are ready to put the roof beams or rafters into place. This time, we had more work for the boom truck to do (Bob, the boom truck operator, was back again for this second operation. Great guy.) The first beam into the air was the glu-lam beam across the 2nd floor loft above the great room, another heavy 23 foot beam. The first picture is Dean straddling the wall and helping to put the beam in position.
For orientation, the first photo is looking west. The second shot is positioning the next beam across the east end of the house (which will be an unfinished attic). Dean and Luke are on the ladders (remember Luke is the Blackfoot Indian), and Ryan is on the ground (very unusual, he is usually walking the walls!)

The last picture is the view from below, on the landing of the logging road. This is the side of the house visible as we drive up the road. The nicest view will be from the south, where all the windows face; my (Becky's) next trip up will be to try and get some southern views (since today's shots were all taken by James).
