This is from probably about a week ago. At this point they were working on putting on the tongue and groove planks. We have these on the edges wherever the underside of the roof is visible. Unfortunately, our framer didn't order enough of it initially so we had a delay of a few days waiting for more to arrive. Especially irksome was the fact that while we were waiting for it to arrive, our windows, which had already been shipped sooner than they were supposed to, were sitting around being fragile and vulnerable. In the end, they all made it through safely. There was a crew of unfortunate guys out on the 4th starting to put them in place and cover the insides with plastic (to protect them until the roof was done). By the middle of the following week they were all up and the roof was moving forward again.
And here it is, done for now, with tongue and groove, plywood sheathing and a waterproof barrier on top. The permanent roof shingles should be on in a few weeks, along with a few skylights. Once the framing was going up we could start to see the space more easily, and we found a nice bit of space under the eaves that we could expand the master bedroom into. Our architect also happened to have some extra skylights that went unused in a prior project that he let us have at a good price. After a little juggling of trusses, we decided to put three of them in to these new spaces, which should hopefully make it much brighter and nicer up there.
This is the end of the guest wing with all the windows in and roof on.
And here's part of the main wing.
Finally here is the latest panorama. This was taken on the 3rd, so this is pretty much how it started out at the beginning of these two weeks.
