When you are working in a deep freeze things don't work the same way. You need to slow down. I lost a half hour because I started nailing without thinking and had to take out a header piece. These are the times when all you can do is smile and get on with making it work. There are no mistakes, only opportunities and discoveries. There are a lot of nails going into this building. I am getting close to the end of a 50 pound box. One of the basement walls and a beam was done with an air nailer, so those don't count.
All of the main floor walls are standing now and the next step is to work on a beam and support for the second floor. I have been looking at gambrel roof framing, A-frame, or a typical full wall with a 4-12 roof. The drawings for the gambrel roof are the most attractive right now, but we are still undecided.
