Squareness

After Andy reminded me that the easiest way to square a frame is by equalizing the diagonals, and to use temporary cross-braces, matters fell back into line and progress continued. Now that two walls are up, the house seems really big -- the peak of the tower roof will be about 14' off the ground.

I've already finished most of a 5-lb box of framing nails. Too many, perhaps, but since I'm using about twice as much wood as necessary, I might as well use twice as many fasteners too.
