2017 11 17 Roof, Sheetrock Tape, Context ..
The space where the roof meets the louvers was tricky because the corrugations "stop" in unpredictable ways next to the opening. The roofer came up with a clever way of using the same material to seal those gaps against the weather.
Sheetrock taping continues.
At the end are three shots taken in the county park just across the ravine to the south of the house. Two shots looking back north at the house, a third looking west. There is a creek to the left in the last shot, which is why there is so much high grass and all the trees.

A lot of progress taping the sheetrock, more over the weekend. Just the tape on the sheetrock changes the look and feel of the spaces again.
The carpenters are back at work installing the cedar ceiling. The cedar aroma is everywhere.
No work on the louvers today. A crane had been rented for the rest of the work, but the site was too muddy from the last 36 hours of rain. That will resume next week.
Next to last photo shows rain accumulated in the shallow trench for a gabion wall to come.
Last photo is there because I really like the way the far horizon cuts through the house as a reflection.
The "mushroom" heaters are visible in a couple of the photos.
