As you can see from this picture we're almost ready to put the lintels over these three windows (the 12th course!)... gotta find someone to help me with this "heavy lifting"... I don't think I can pick one of these 8" X 8" X 64" lintels up by myself and position it 8' in the air (I'm sitting on a stack of 6 lintels).
The two opening at this end of the house are a more problematic as the sill on the far left window is a bit too high & needs to be adjusted down... and the wall to the right of the window next to the door opening is not plumb (laid without a string... doh, Dave!) and needs to be partially torn out and relaid... UGH!
I spoke with David Musser today and arranged for him to bring "his crew" (Shane & Tracy) to help me build the south "stick built" wall and to put the trusses, sheeting, roofing felt and tin on. We could be "dried in" in three weeks or so!
