Adventures in Construction 5: Time Flies
Posted on: Aug 02, 2010
Time flies when you’re having fun! Work on my mother’s house has been a blast, and we’ve come a long way since my last construction post (way back when we had just laid plywood for the lower floor). Since then, we have:
- framed and sheathed the first floor walls
- framed the second floor walls
- roughed out the main stairs
- laid plywood for the second floor
- milled and installed beam ends for the first floor overhang
- sheathed and covered the lower roof, including two curved cricket areas
- raised the second floor trusses and installed special beam ends for the second floor overhang (see my next post)
Here are some shots from along the way:
