day . 69

it was supposed to be really hot again today but it was nice to get up on the roof before it heated up. also the beaux arts ball is tonight so we worked fast to get done before 4. we put up the last bit of sheathing and them trimmed the parts that overlapped the knee wall with the reciprocating saw. it was crazy heavy but caroline and i rotated and we got it all done in a few hours. we then moved down into the building. i had no idea until then how cool it was in the shade of the building. it was at least 20 degrees cooler, which was crazy. caroline and i built the last of the rafter tails for the south side of the large suite area for tall lauren and josh. we had to put 2 of the 2x6’s that had been cut forever ago upright, put a spacer in the front and back then screw another 2x4 on top. they look like long boxes with no bottom. we assembled about 10 of them before lunchtime, and we all walked up to skip’s. of course it took like 45 mins to get our food and by the time we got back and ate it was after 1. caroline left for work so cody and i finished assembling the last few rafter tails. next cody and i moved to helping lauren kelley and kaytee cut sheathing for the matron suite roof. we got a cut list from kaytee and began cutting them all. there were only about 8 pieces that had to be cut so we got them done pretty quickly and then handed them all up. we then started cleaning up so we could get going. once the roof sheathing was all nailed we got to leave about a half hour early! i am super excited for beaux arts tonight!!!
