robby rocked the cricket!

some of you have intelligently asked us about how we're dealing with rain in the valley created between the old roof and the new. this is the answer... well, half the answer at least!

this is the cricket. a crazy little angled roof that connects the two main roofs at a high point in the middle and slopes down either way to get water off the roof. robby got half of it built tonight... figuring out all those compound cuts was quite a task... too bad real life doesn't have a mirror command for the other side. it will get sheathed and finished with shingles like the rest of the roof.

this is the view from the low end:

robby thinks he's the bee's knees now....
