The weather has been much more cooperative the last 2 weeks and I've made some good progress. I've taken a few more days off work, and I've spent a couple afternoons building the workshop and then did my real work in the evening after it got dark.
The roof was an interesting challenge. To keep the workshop looking similar to the house, the drawings call for a hip roof. In a hip roof the roof slopes in from all four sides, instead of having two vertical ends. When the framers were working on the addition, I recall the lead complaining about how much he hates hip roofs - now I understand why. I found a website that helps me plan out all the rafters, but it's still a lot of finicky angles and lengths that have to come together just right.
In any case, the structure of the roof is complete and I just have to get it sheathed. I'm hoping to be ready for the framing inspection within a week.
