Another gorgeous day although it was really hot again. Today people cut the shapes for the soffett on the North sister's suite and Sarah and I nailed them in. Before we could do this Sarah and I had to remove the handrails from the sloped roof. I did not volunteer to climb up there since I am scared of heights but I held the ladder! This took up most of the day and it was not easy. The trusses from the roof system were not all straight so the soffetts had to be cut and cut again just to wedge them in. Also it was difficult to nail them in at such an awkward angle because we could not seem to get our hammers enough space to hit the nails in under the trusses. I also helped doing some of the cutting with the jigsaw and chiseling for the soffett.
