First day of sheathing

On Friday night, we set up the scaffolding and a ladder jack setup on the West side of the house. The ladder jacks just weren't gonna cut it though.

We started off working on our own, installing the fascia and fly rafters (also known as barge boards). Then, Pat showed up to help us out. Thank goodness! Jane went up the pump jacks once (while in full harness) but really wasn't into it. Pat seemed fine with it. Unfortunatly, Eli had to bring the pump jacks down on his own after Pat left. This meant crossing back and forth from one side to the other until it was at the first floor window. There, Jane climbed out to help. An 8 feet fall isn't as scary as a 24 feet fall.
