This is where we got our idea for building the roof. There is also a french architect that builds them as well.
We are sure trying for December. I probably won't post anymore pictures until we are at the top. I think I have gone over my limit already but love sharing the progress with everyone : )

I see you posted some more pictures, wow! you guys are almost there, bet
you make it by December. I am still amazed by that roof configuration,

something to the bottom of the rafters?
