FRAMING CONTINUES

Double shed low slope roof starting to take shape. Beams for living area roof to be set next week. Colder weather has slowed our progress on pouring footings for the front porch planters. Roof should be sheathed by Turkey-day.

SUBFLOOR & FRAMING

Floor trusses are set and sheathed and Main Floor framing should wrap up within the next two weeks. The biggest design issue right now is determining how to deal with the elevation and south slope off the front entrance. We are currently planning some concrete planter boxes off the entrance to contain the steps and soften the slope on the south side.
