Progress on the roof

Drying the sub-floor and wood frame after a week of rain. Early February 2017.

March provides enough clear days to get the framing and plywood up.

No back porch yet, waiting for the steel posts. Mid March.

The first steel post goes up. These beauties will hold up the extended roof and are secured into the foundation blocks. Their size and weight will provide the strength necessary to carry the load.  They will be covered with turned Victorian-Style  posts to match the front porch.

Steel posts, 12 by 6 beams and framing is in place. Late March

A triangular hole in the plywood is cut for the decorative piece salvaged from the original house.

View of the matching north facing dormers from the street. End of March 2017. Roof plywood is in place.

Kitchen in now in the shadow of the roof plywood barrier. April 1, 2017

 Lots of progress inside and out (note roughed-in plumbing) and kitchen counter outline on the floor in chalk.We are preparing to order cabinets and purchase sinks and faucets.
