The North side will serve two purposes once the studio is completed. The room will be divided in two with one half being the battery and electrical room for the solar photovoltaic power; and the other half of the room will be storage for equipment.

I used 6'-Ponderossa Pine vigas to span the narrow width of this 4'-wide room, set roughing 1'-10" apart. The vigas are 8"-diameter. As shown in these photos, I then 'cobbed' to the height of the vigas in preparation for the roof decking.

As can be seen in the photo above, the landscape has 'greened-up' from the summer rains. A protective covering of tar paper was placed on top of the walls for protection from the rains. Now that the fall is approaching, rainfall will be minimal for several months and along with the temperature drop, it will be a good time to work.
