We were ready for the rafters on house #2 on Thursday. We have had so much rain and they are almost sitting in water. I just calculated and we have been here for 21 days and we have had 5 days of sunshine. Some days its just cloudy all day but no sun. It rains almost every night.
Planning on how the rafters are going up, led by Ryn.
Teamwork, began by going over top and changed to going
through door with rafters.
More teamwork, Ryn on left top corner and Pat on
upper right corner, attaching rafters.
Lots of teamwork and high lifting.All rafters were man-handled
to get them into place.
Dan is assisting Pat and Emilio and Stan are holding rafter in place.
Ahhhhh, the rafters are in place. Dennis, Stan, Emilio, Dan and Thomas, with Ryn on top.

The siding is almost complete on Harry's house. Thomas and Amanda installing siding on Arctic porch.

Ryn and Emilio inside Harry's house. Notice the insulation is all in place, windows installed also. The picture below shows the outside door to the Arctic porch.
Wilbur and I went with Cyp and daughter, son-in-law and baby to Emmonak to get groceries on Wednesday. Yes, I am wearing my parka, stocking cap and boots. This is inside the FishPak store.
Cyp did such an excellent job of navigating us through 5 foot waves from the Yukon. We had a great ride, and he has a little cabin where we could ride inside. We are finished with our first project here in Alakanuk, which was to raise Cyp's family home.
I was glad to get back to calmer waters and Alakanuk.
