Roofing the main house

Report #22: Part I
December 31, 1999

Construction on the main house has continued slowly since our Sep 4 report. We had Hurricane Jose and Hurricane Lenny (when we discovered that our solar power system doesn't work).

These pictures were taken starting in September, 1999.

A central column for the roof

Turns out no one had figured out how to hold up the roof on this building, which will have a drop ceiling. So we built a tower in the center to support the roof (you won't see the tower due to the flat ceilings in those rooms.
