This is the beginnings of the Gallery. The exterior walls are framed and the ridge beam is up. The shot is taken from the door of the studio, looking toward the bathroom Yurt (on the right) and into the office (that's the ridge beam for the office in the background). |

A shot of the two ridge beams (they are referred to as glue lams). That's a 50' X 50' sheet of plastic over the two connecting buildings, successfully (so far) keeping out the rain and snow (we've had about 3" of wet snow. |

Josef, sitting on a ring beam, working on a support for the blue plastic cover. |

Josef, again, working with the plastic. You can see the ridge beam (top), the partial ring beam (middle), and the wall (bottom). The boards are the two layers of ceiling boards upon which plastic and 6" of rigid insulation are installed. Roof boards are installed from the top of the ridge beam down and overhanging the top of the wall. |
 |
This is the beginnings of the office ceiling. Note the ridge beam. |
 |
Another view of ridge beams (and Josef hiding in the blue). |
 |
Here's the spineof the office roof -- ceiling boards lag-bolted to the ridge beam. |
 |
The beginnings of the gallery ceiling. That's the studio Yurt door between the two header posts. |
 |
The convergence of the office and the gallery ridge beams. |
 |
The entire building is beginning to have some shape. The bare roof straight ahead is that of the gallery. |
