The bottom of the post is cut to rest on the post. Then a one foot lag screw is lagged in to it.
The rafter is saddled into the middle post. Then a one foot lag screw is put down into the posts underneath.
Sweaty but happy...
An ongoing journal of building an "off-the-grid" solar homestead, life, boring tedious stuff, knee-jerk eco-socialist opinion, work (as little as possible) and family---from the edge of the wilderness (where the Sierra meets the Cascades).
