It started off a lovely sunny day, and as we worked, the 'scattered thunderstorms' moved in. The valley over the hill looked like it was getting a little wet, but we got nada.

The arches get added one by one, the purlin (that's the pipe running along the top; it serves to brace and space the rafters) gets added in sections as you go. It took us about 2 hours to get the whole thing put together to this point...
