The rain finally stops

It's been raining for a long time now, except for a beautiful weekend day (when nobody was working).  So progress has been slow.  But a short break in the rain a few days ago allowed a bit of work to get done.

The mason came over for a short time to slide the bluestone caps over the end of the support posts.  After that, they could build the posts up to their full height and put up the beams that will support the porch roof.

A view down the length of the porch, showing how the beams tie into the corners of the house.

Closeup of the bluestone caps.  The boards on top of them are temporary to support some scaffolding while they frame the roof.  (probably also to protect the stone from having tools dropped on it)

Trim details around the back of the house are coming along.  This window is just about finished.

These windows in our library had previously given us some real headaches with interior trim because they don't completely line up with each other.  I was worried about how they were going to deal with that on the outside, but it turned out really nicely in the end!
