Framing…Day 17

The roof framing is now officially complete. The Tappe guys finished up their work on the soffits and house wrapping last night and this morning. The photo below shows the house from the top of the dirt pile in the back yard. From this vantage point you can see the 3/12 pitch garage and music room (shed) roofs, the 12/12 pitch roofs on the garage & main house, and the 8/12 pitch to the back between the dormers over the stairs on the main house.

By noon they had a good start on the second floor interior walls. The first photo shows the view looking toward the master bedroom from the East end of the upstairs. From here you can see the beginnings of the hallway and the end wall of the book nook.

Next is another panoramic composite image using three separate photos. This one shows the master bedroom looking towards the opposite corner. The two walk-in closets and West wall attic space are visible in front of the master bathroom at the rear of the photo (the yellow arrow shows the pathway into the attic space). These shots always get a little confusing and seem to work better when they are left un-cropped.

The next two photos show close ups of one end of the book nook and a shot down the attic space adjacent the West wall of the master bedroom. We decided to take out the door to the attic in the bedroom and provide access through the back of the walk-in closet. This is going to make a fine “hide-and-seek” destination.

Finally the inside wall at the top of the stairs to the bonus room from the garage. This wall will get a fire door and a solid glass (non-operating) window to comply with the requirement for separation between the garage and bonus room spaces.
