A mock rafter, flooring, and walls

The first week of November was a little rainy and cold. Jimmy took the opportunity to work inside his Dad's shop and prep for his rafters. He was very proud of his first rafter raised on the ground floor, no matter that his wife made fun of him for putting up a rafter he was just going to take down. He had to see what it looked like.

Jimmy's brother Ben came to town to help him work on the cabin for a day. We were very thankful for his help. It took them back to the days of old when all 3 Burton brothers worked construction together. Ben helped Jimmy construct the rafters and put the floor down on top of the foundation.

Had to break in the new floor with a little bit of dancing. Abigail loved this.

Jimmy's wife helped him frame and put up the exterior walls. Here they go....

1 wall

2 walls

3 walls

 4 walls

We had to do something with the girls while Mommy and Daddy were both working...
