72 degrees. Sunny with almost no wind.
(Sunday)
More of the same today - I cut the remaining rafters down on the saw horses and then glued and nailed the tail section that splays out to make it look like the roof widens at the bottom. I then moved the ladder around to the four corners and measured, cut, glued and nailed the second 2x6 inside pieces to the upper boards to give them some mass.

Here are a few more pictures from the day.

| Almost feels like a loft. |
I'll try again to adjust my schedule a little and take a couple half days to work on the dormer window and then begin to install the sheathing. Once the sheathing is up the building will be somewhat weather tight. There is a chance of rain on Thursday and the girls keep talking about using the Playhouse for Halloween, which is in just a week.
