Well, between rain, snow, and my mistakes, I actually didn't get much done this week, but I should get more done this weekend. Oh... and I didn't beat the snow.

The most time consuming mistake that I made was trying to save on plywood by lowering it an inch and a half. This way I had exactly 2' and could use the other half on the other wall. The problem is that I had already cut the rafters to fit the 2x4 walls (without sheathing). So I had to cut small pockets in the sheathing for each rafter. DOH!!
Mistake number 1: Once I setup ridge beam support, originally set for an 8:12 pitch roof, I realized that made it way to big. So I had to cut them down for a 6:12 pitch roof.
