Framing…Day 15

The Tappe guys are plugging along installing roof sheeting. At noon today they were just starting to get into the bonus room over the garage. Today is the day of new perspectives. The first photo shows The “L” Shaped House from ground level just to the right of the dirt pile. This is the view you will see as you come up the driveway.

The back side of the house showing the the big pitch between the two dormers that will present some interesting challenges for the gutter guys (there will be a lot of water coming down this pitch).

This photo shows a panoramic view of the second floor from the master bedroom looking toward the hallway to the bonus room. The roof trusses create a veritable maze of lumber in the ceiling. Barry tells me that the folks at Scherer Brothers did not make a single mistake in the Trusses…Amazing!

This last photo taken from the hallway at the top of the stairs shows a section of the roof where three pitches come together. There are trusses running all directions and sheeting meeting on top. The gap at the top is the peak of the roof that the ridge vent will cover. The chaos up there kind of makes me dizzy!
