Mishaps

Not much changed appearance-wise, so no pictures today.

Recent "mishaps":

1. During all the rain earlier in the week I noticed water pooling in the middle of the house (second floor and attic floor).  Some quick measurements with a string looked like the laminated beam was sagging a little.  Today I used Joe's laser level and discovered that the basement beam and first floor deck are perfect.  But somehow the ceiling is 3/4" lower in the center than at the edges and this carries the rest of the way up.  So it's not the beam (good), but I'm not sure yet how that could happen or how to fix it (not so good...).
2. Last night Ella tossed a rock into the open cellar window onto the brand new basement floor.  It lasted in it's pristine condition all of 2 hours...
3. The ledger board for the front porch had been sagging from people walking on it before it was lagged into the house.  Dave kept saying he was going to jack it up and secure it this weekend.  He couldn't delay anymore after the whole thing detached from the house and fell in while Tommy and Jack were setting up staging for the porch beam.  All secure now...

Porch roof should go on on Monday.  More pictures then.
