Framed In

Pete has made amazing progress over the past couple of weeks, especially considering he's been working his regular job and we went on a camping trip. He and Nate wrestled the big beams up, and then Pete put up the valley rafters and the roof rafters. I still don't completely understand how Pete managed to hang all those rafters himself. He also poured the new grade beam in the garage and put in the new structural post that take a large part of the load of the new roof.

Back of the house - you can see the new dormer that'll be Sylvie's room and the large dormer that'll be the master bedroom:

The front of the house - the large pitch is where the master bath will go. The smaller shed dormer is the hallway:


I took some photos of the interior. We don't have any of the interior walls up yet, so it might be tough to tell what's going on from the photos. The wide angled lens distorts things a bit - but hopefully it's good enough to get an idea of what we're doing.

Master bedroom:

Standing in the corner tub (use your imagination):

Sylvie's room:

Master bathroom and closet:

Next up - finishing details on the roof - fascia boards, sheathing, overhangs - and then roofing!

  1. I can't believe how quickly this is coming together. Pete, you have done one heck of a job. The house will look fantastic when it is finished.
