The laminated beam is the one with the writing on it
He had to wait for the frost to burn off on Saturday morning as we’d had another hard one. He had me help him get the first rafter in place, right above the tree branch.
Then he set the laminated beam that will support all the valley rafters. It’s got writing on it. It’s about the same size as the rafters, but far heavier and longer. It will carry all the weight of the rafters, roofing and snow loads in the valley.

There was the usual readjusting of rafter placement, and a few miscuts, so he managed to get this many up on Saturday.
He hopes to finish them and fill in the ends on Sunday. Then there’s the porch to do, and the window area on the existing house to finish.
It's really coming along. I hope the weather holds out for you.

He finished the rafters today, but didn't get the ends done. He had good weather all week it looks like. He doesn't think he will finish, because some of the windows for the addition are coming out of the main house, and no way of closing up when they come out. So he was saying tonight, once he gets it weather tight, it looks like waiting until spring to really get going again...

It has a beautiful symmetry against the sky. Evidence of really tough hard work and very difficult without much help by the sounds of things.
Wonderful basic structure against all odds in the future. A bit like life really.
