Framing…Day 20

By noon today the Tappe guys had the roof trusses and supports installed on the new front porch. The first photo shows the the front of the “L” Shaped House from the top of the dirt pile. Brody is finishing some of the detail framing. They plan to have the roof sheathing up by the time they leave tonight.

In this photo we can also see the roofing guys installing paper on one of the front dormers. They plan to “dry in” the whole roof today and tomorrow with roofing paper in anticipation of the rains predicted for Thursday and Friday.

The next photo shows an end view of the front porch with pretty much all of the structural elements in place (we won’t see the PermaCast pillars for some time). I did not get a chance to walk around on the deck but it feels really nice to stand in the living room looking out through the framing!
