Framing…Day 13 (Noon Report)

I think today deserves a noon report (maybe an evening report as well?). The crane has finished hoisting trusses to the roof, packed up and gone home. With almost all the trusses in place the Tappe crew is setting about straightening, bracing, and adding the remaining bits and pieces. With the roof lines better defined we get our first look at The “L” Shaped House in its final form…Exciting!

The following photos show all four sides of The “L” Shaped House…the first from the big dirt pile out front.

Next from the utility pole out back…

Then a “long” shot taken from our neighbor’s front yard.

And finally the view from the tight quarters in the Northeast corner of the back yard showing the bonus room and bedroom dormers. I also included a photo of the bonus room shot from the hallway right outside Sam’s room. As you can see getting an uncluttered easy to understand interior photo has just become much more difficult!

 

Well…no evening report, but I will add a couple photos to the noon report here. The first shows the bonus room after all the trusses are set. This is going to be an interesting space, and probably popular with the kids.

The next photo is a little different perspective of the back side of the “L” Shaped House with the fourth garage stall and music room shed roofs at each end of the “L”. We talked with the roofers today and have decided to install a standing seam metal roof over the front porch and are thinking about the same for the music room. This will no doubt please Mike Kloti who planned for this from the beginning.
