And the roof goes on

A new roof line begins

The new trusses arrive and are starting to be installed, all 400 of them. Are you sure the big one goes here? This is like Christmas Eve and you got your family the best gift ever, but the fine print said, some assembly required, It’ going to be a long night.

Getting ready for trusses

The crew has been working hard for the day that the new roof truss system arrived. New support post around the building. Preping the old roof.

Rainbow over our new home

The view from Alpine village. You can see the rainbow lead right to the mountain.

This is not doctored, there was a rainbow after last nights rain and as a good photographer I do follow rainbows to get the shot. There could have been more sun light but you can see the sevenfold red, orange, yellow green blue indigo and violet just above our new space.

The rainbow's appearance is caused by dispersion of sunlight as it goes through raindrops. The light is first refracted as it enters the surface of the raindrop, reflected off the back of the drop, and again refracted as it leaves the drop. The overall effect is that the incoming light is reflected back over a wide range of angles, with the most intense light at an angle of 40°–42°. The angle is independent of the size of the drop, but does depend on its refractive index.

So keep looking up after the rain best at the end of the day.

Now we have walls

The main floor, more progress

The floor is down and all the windows existing building have been covered. The walkway around the building is being back filled.

The stairway to the basement is in, and there is a big space for the new elevator.
