Up With the Roof

Monday brought fantastic weather! The last step in the framing began today...the roof structure. We are having a "shed" type roof that will allow for the windows to be high up on the East wall. The roof joists are wood I-beams. They are cut to length and then 2x4's are added to the ends to create the overhang. This is a tedious job. With the roof joists in place, you get a good idea of what the upper floor volume will feel like.
