More roof framing and steel work.

This above is the along north side of the house.  There will be a row of high windows along almost the entire north side of the house, between the two wood beams in the steel "buckets".  The columns will be exposed in the interior of the house, so will the roof beams.  The two lower horizontal beams that frame the windows the the steel beam below them will all be inside the wall.
