Frame completed and rafters go up

Week Sixteen.
 
A good week weather wise considering that it is late November. The frame was finished and the rafters have also gone up.  We had a few decisions to make including the exact height of the mezzanine level - which we set at 4' - and the positioning of the two vertical oak beams set either side of where the door is going to be. We wanted the door to be fairly central giving the mezzanine level enough space but also leaving enough space for the window over on the right hand side.

The rafters have gone up too so we have had the first chance to see how high the mezzanine level will be.  I have to stoop but it gives a reasonable height for the kids plus leaves enough for a decent amount of storage underneath.
