Today was supposed to be a record breaking day as far as temperature goes here on the island. I’m not sure exactly how hot it got, but it was brutal to work in the sun. Half way through the day we busted out the hose and regularly sprayed ourselves and the logs we were peeling until it just got to be too much. My partner, Dave, and I  finished our gable plate today. That’s it pictured above. I was really pleased with how it turned out, except for a few spots I’ll need to do some finish planing, or possibly sanding. I did a large portion of the layout, and got basically everything right the first time. I think it’s mainly due to the fact that I’ve been spending so much time doing layout for things like this in Sketchup for the last few months. Plus, I’ve already modeled the entire building, so I have a much better understanding of what goes where, and how it all looks in it’s different phases of completion. Last time I was here I made several mistakes in my layout. Luckily, I caught all but one before it was too late.

Hopefully tomorrow isn’t as hot, and I don’t feel as shitty in the morning. Today was brutal at times.
