The day started by carrying more rafters into the house.

Jeff lifts his end up to the window.

Feeding the rafter through the window.

Paul guides his end while someone on the inside hooks onto the leading end and pulls.

The crew inside takes over, pulling the rafter up...

...and into the house.

The last of the rafters have been brought into the house.

Paul and Jeff on the scaffold towers awaiting the next rafter to be lifted up to them.

Bob lifts the first end up to Jeff...

...where he takes over lifting it up and onto the wall.

With Jeff's end sitting on the wall, Lydia raises Paul's end up to him.

Paul grabs his end when the pulleys reach their maximum height.

Matching up a pair of rafters on the peak.

LouElla guides another rafter up to Jeff.

Picking up another rafter to set on the peak.

Bob was in charge of making the plumb cuts in the ends of the rafters.

Since the circular saw didn't have the depth to go all the way through the flanges, Jillena finished the cuts with the reciprocating saw.

Time to move the scaffold towers to the other side of the front girder.

Lydia and LouElla help Matt take down a frame section.

LouElla relaxing while Lydia does some housekeeping.

Paul and Jeff installing a spacer block behind the last rafter in the middle section of the house.

Matt is already up on the west tower installing more pitch brackets.

Later in the afternoon, Paul headed out to fill in more of the water line ditch.

By nightfall, only a few feet of open ditch remained, leaving our coupler exposed for leak testing.
