Days 16-18: More framing

Bricklaying finished for the year on Monday. We are waiting for an answer from the architect on whether our parapet wall can drop down at the end of the neighbour's building, in order to given him more light. It will all get resolved next year.
The sound of saw and nail gun continued on Tuesday and Wednesday as the more detailed framing was done: eaves, gutters, etc. Discovered that the architect hadn't allowed for the width of the box gutter and that the skylights will therefore have to be smaller. Decided that the room will still look OK with one larger skylight in the kitchen area and two smaller ones in the living/dining. They will not line up, but we think it will all still work. This kind of issue at least justifies our decision to be on hand as the building went up.
Heat stopped play on Thursday.
