The "A"s

I have two new pictures from today. Here's the "A" in the front:

And here's the "A" in the back:

Even More Roof Work

Yesterday, they overframed the back so the "A" would be centered over the door to the pool room. The pool room is a bump out in the back. The area to the right is patio where you come through a breeze-way from the garage to make a right into the sunroom that separates my house from my Mom's house. The wall between the pool room and the sunroom is my kitchen. (That's a big pile of dirt in the foreground...)

All of the felt is on the roof. And today they put the "A" on the front.

Last picture of the day:

More Roof Work

They are getting more plywood onto the roof and have some felt in place over the garage.

Roof

Here's a few more pictures from the end of the day yesterday, putting the trusses up. They worked until dark. These pictures were taken toward the end of the day.





And here's some pictures from today, with plywood going onto the roof. This picture shows the south-facing side with the 3-car garage down on the end. Then there's the entryway to the breezeway that separates the garage from the house. The front corner is Mom's house.
Looking across the front is an 8 foot front porch, the length of the house. The closest part of the house is Mom's and my part is the other end.



This is where they left off today:

Trusses in Place!

It was a big day today! It's starting to look like a house! There are power lines that run over the middle of the property. We are having them moved, but the electric company hasn't done it yet. So Steve had them put some orange stuff on the lines so the crane would be careful while working around them. This view shows the openings for the doors for the 3-car garage. The crane is around the back-side of the house.

It was a cold day. But the skies were clear, no rain.

I don't know how you keep track of where all the pieces go!

This was my brother's view from the peak.


There's my brother Steve! That can't be comfortable...



They worked until dark...

More Pictures Of Exterior Walls

It's starting to really take shape! This covered area is for the hot tub.

This is Mom's side.
