Okay, loyal blog readers (all 16 of you)...I've been
delinquent and let too much time pass between posts. It's been over a week and Ed and crew have taken good advantage of the time to make some excellent headway. We now have a roof, a second floor addition and are nearing weather tightness on the exterior (Ed says maybe by the end of this week).
This post simply chronicles the process of building the roof for the addition. This part of the roof was done in a more conventional way. Rather than post and beam, Ed used modern dimensional lumber.
While they built the roof, I knocked down walls...
Above you can see all of the rafters for the second floor...
Here you can see that the Ice and Water shield has been applied to the back (this was done on Columbus Day by Mike and Ed who stayed until about 7:30 to finish the job because it was supposed to rain today. You can also see that the wall that I cut out was re-framed today with the attic window in again.
We continue to be impressed by the efficiency and dedication of Ed and his crew. They have no problem working 10 hour days and working on the ocassional holiday.
