Here, a few sheets of the tile roofing are going on top of the furring strips:
Here is a complete side:
The project continues to progress at a steady pace, so I suspect that pig should begin to worry about being the main 'guest' at the dry-in fiests in another week or so.
Once the roof is done, the walls still need to be smoothed, the electrical run + fixtures, etc. installed, the plumbing fixtures installed (almost all pipe and conduit are already in, but they are very dull photos), windows & doors, paint, acid stain for the counters and floors and then we get to (drum roll, please) move in!!!
For now, Paul and I continue to putter away at the garden. This week, Paul built a hydro ram pump, which worked fine when he tested the design (it's not particularly photogenic, though it's highly functional at moving water from the creek into the garden).
His current project is burying the tubing for his pump and guess what - he's finding lots more big, lovely rocks.
Who would have foreseen that?!
Since he's got the pump, he's been 'digging' out the big ones (one ton or more) with hydro-power, which seems slow, but gets things done quite nicely if left alone for a few hours... as long as he doesn't ignore the pump too long, this is good - don't want the water to erode us our own Grand Canyon or anything.
