Sheet Accompli
Missed the day yesterday. Dean & Joel accomplished a lot without me. Maybe they even accomplished more than if I was actually there.
Sheeeee-it!
Seemed appropriate to quote Clay Davis (a la The Wire). We’re seriously into sheeting the roof. Pretty wobbly cutting plywood at the top of this scaffold. Getting pretty good at it though. Art shot! With face. Sagebrush view. Thinking of potential house colours in that come from sage. The view from Brown Rd.
March Leaves Like a Lamb
Lovely spring weather these days. Perfect for adding a roof to our living room. Unlike the rest of the house, we are building our own trusses from TGI and 1″ plywood. And a beam. We’re doing this roof a solid.
Framing & Blue Skies
The house doesn’t look massively different, but it was a nice day. And I took photos of my framing handiwork. Yes, my handiwork. Not just a handsome joe-job kinda guy anymore.
More House Coverage (Literally)
Getting good at cutting weird shaped sheets of plywood with a circular saw. Learning the importance of a chalk line at the same time. Wish I tried harder (or at all) at high school math.
More Than 3 Sheets To The Wind
Sheeting the roof has begun. We are starting on the 18 degree pitch of course. That will be our leaping off point. We’ll haul the plywood up to the platform (surrounded by a guardrail fortunately). Good times ahead. The 45 degree stuff should prove nice and terrifying. Harnesses are in our future.
Non-visual Progress
So, things don’t look any different really. But, lots of framing happening with the roof trusses, adding lookouts (overhangs) and framing dormers.
The House on the Hill
Here’s a different view of the house. From the farm by Dakota’s pen. As you can see spring has sprung. Nice sunny days of around 14 C. Actually had to start wearing sunscreen since I got a burn on Wednesday. I see Ontario had another snow storm and drifting snow. Just sayin’. Pop quiz: How […]
