Mon: New decorative rafter tails (which had been cut over the weekend) were sanded, primed, and painted. More lumber was delivered.
Tues: Mike the builder discovered that the profile of the salvaged decorative rafter tails installed last week was incorrect for the pitch of the roof. So, the salvaged decorative rafter tails were removed.
They were saved and may be reused elsewhere.
The exterior door and 2nd level windows were delivered. 
Wed: The new decorative rafter tails with the correct profile for the pitch of the roof were installed. From the side:

That is a HUGE ass addition! wow!
Does this addition make my ass look huge?
Coming along and looking great! I really like the details.
Speaking of really liking, Marcus Patrick is a hottie!
It's really taking shape now. Looks good.
I would have invited the hot workers to the beach.
Boy, there is some huge progress taking shape now, Marcus's jean are almost down and off!!! Looks great- the addition that is!
It's progressing nicely! And it fits the house too. I guess that's the advantage of professional design.
It'll be nice when it's all done.
I hope the weather is cooperating with your building schedule, and not raining on all that bare wood.
It looks great! And as for the guys working on Friday, I'm sure they were being well paid for their work. They'll get beach time another day.
Wow I can't believe how fast this is getting done. Lucky guys your are!
I'm worried about that little mushed up door on the side at the back of the garage. This is going so well, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Suggestion: Sometimes could you make your responses to the comments on here? I wonder about your answers to some of the questions. (it's all about me, you know, which makes me concerned that I'm like your MIL)
It's amazing what a difference the tiny details of the decorative rafters can make with the overall appearance of the house! Progress looks to be moving along nicely. Any photos of the guys hydrating themselves? ;-)
