Here on a sunny day in October, Bob (the Architect & General Contractor) invites you to meet the truss team. He is practicing something that typically architects are not know to often do i.e. work alongside the tradesmen moving the project forward. In the next entry, you'll hear from Bob as he touches on this 'Alexandrian' approach as defined by his mentor, Christopher Alexander. From left to right: Mile, Rock, Andre and Steen. This carpenters' team is putting in place the roof structure including the carport.
Daytime weather has been sunny right from the delivery early in October to today, save for 3 overcast days that halted work and we all went home to re-group. In the evenings at Headwater, we often see overcast skies and spectacular sunsets.
Spirits are high and a couple more days of fine weather will ensure that the building is safe to resist winter weather. The wood stove in the mini-house warms the evenings, and quiet conversations pass the time while Andre's delicate guitar melodies makes the hard work roll away. Early each morning they make the walk down the gravel road a couple of paces to the main house and work once more.
