The extra time it takes to cut and mount the ceiling and roof joists makes the progress slow compared to the wall framing. It is almost a shame that the craftsmanship involved is only visible for a short while, then covered forever. Nonetheless, the completion of the house is dependent upon this masterful work being hidden from view. I am just glad I got a chance to appreciate it.
Pam and I are on the road right now, traveling to Bloomington, Illinois (nephew's wedding) by way of Portland, Maine. Here are the most recent pictures we took from our site visit yesterday:

| This is a picture from the driveway. We are trying to save the fenced tree and hope to bring the driveway around it CCW. |
 |
| This view is of the rear of the house, and the one thing missing is the cathedral ceiling which should be in the middle where you see the pony walls. |
 |
| The trusses on the casita are done, as is about 95% of the roof joists. The entrance creates a bit of a tight turn for the roof at the intersection to the left of the entrance. |
 |
| This is Google's enhancement of a photo taken from near the casita entrance toward the porte-cochere joining the main house (left) and the two-car garage/rec room (right). Again, such geometries are visually interesting to me. |
