I must be getting slightly better at working on ladders and scaffolding, as today I framed the top triangular opening at the top of the gable end.
The eastern wall is now ready to be closed, using OSB boards, which I got today from Mc Coy’s, which is the local building supply store in San Marcos.
Another truckload of timber; the guy at Mc Coy’s estimated it was about 1500 pounds in total, but this time it was flat and well distributed, so driving it felt fine.
As climbing a ladder with a 12 ft triangle in my hands did not seem a great idea, I hoisted up the triangle using a ring eye screw and a rope.
That way it was safe from falling down whilst I had my hands free to climb the ladder and adjust the frame.
The picture was taken at dusk, so it’s not completely sharp, but you can see the stick frame now covering the entire eastern wall.
