LOOK DAD! I'M FLYING!!!

Today we did a bunch of rafter work, I put bridging between each rafter and nailed all them in  by hand. Next we put in the gutter board and its not an easy task. We first had to build scaffolding around the porch then hoist up some 2x4's and nail them into the rafters. After we did so we started to but roofing on. First off the roofing consisted of 3/4 plywood with posts going around the exterior of the porch. We reinforced the rafters with bridges so that the posts had something to "bite" into. Next we nailed all the ply wood into rafters. Easily the most fun I've had on project and a good way to learn the ways of a hammer! Tomorrow we work on pitching the roof so that water will not just form on the roof and will actually run off it. Heres a picture of the roofing.
