Added some more to the next layer and climbed up top to check out the view. The ceiling is 8 ft. and sitting on top of the wall my head can touch the ceiling. What a view and I'm not done yet!
With all that wood beware of termites. It would really suck if they got into the base of the framing somewhere...:nilly:
My house has an active termite contract, so I don't believe that's a concern. My house is made of wood and it's doing fine 
Lots of progress today. Had a good visit with Ken and he's going to start helping out again a week from Monday. That'll make all the gluing and screwing go tons faster. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm done.
I was just about to ask you how you were going to attach everything together....
Looks good!
Keep up the good work!
