Week 6 - Tuesday

The last little piece of roof being constructed... A little dormer, covering part of our balcony, which seems simple, but really is not... The 2 adjacent slopes are not the same, so the angle between them is NOT 45 degrees. That makes everything MUCH harder! A different view:
The skylight is installed:
And here is Paul again working away...

Week 5 - endweek

It's looking like a real house now! :)


The bin is gone, the lumber piles are disappearing, and the property is getting cleaned up nicely. Here is my hubby sweeping the sidewalk...

Week 5 - midweek

Most of the plywood is now on, some tar-paper too, so hopefully we won't be needing the tarp any longer!
Just one small section left to put plywood on:

And a couple of pictures from inside:




Week 4 - end week

The roof is now mostly framed, we had to tarp it again because of rain... however, the tarp came a little short on one side, so when it did rain, it drained right into the house!!! I was up mopping water again at 5:00 am. The siding is all put back, where the jack posts had to be inserted... Dad did a fabulous job here!
The plywood is started on the front section of the house, and the balcony is started...
Just a nice shot -- beautiful sky in the background... Our cute little house is looking really BIG now!

Week 4 - Walls are going up!  It's getting pretty exciting, and again, at the end of the week, we got tarpped just in time for the Frida...
