Hint of a roof

By lunchtime today, the builders had gotten about 1/3 of a way up the south side of the roof, which you can see in this picture if you look carefully. The tongue and groove ceiling planks were by and large straight, despite their 16-ft length, and fit together well. There were some slightly warped planks, which Joey and Gord cut into 8' halves.

Although the hemlock was very dry, there was minimal splitting when they nailed them down to the rafters. The planks are actually reddish in hue, contrasting with the timbers which appear to be more yellow/green, depending on the light. I didn't get a final picture because it was too dark, but if you click on the image you might get an idea of what the ceiling will look like.
