Today I got home and our roof didn't meet in the middle! Todd took the middle out and put in the posts that will stay down the hallway in the middle of the roof. Eleven foot high is quite high enough--so we'll make another plan to get light in the bathroom (probably skylights.) He had Terrence help him carry these HUGE long heavy beams that he's using onto the roof this weekend and he said that sliding them onto the support posts was easy.
While the roof gets undone, the floor is getting done. Here is the second pour of the foundation--the first one is the threshold where the front door will go,
this one is the outside wall on the cistern on the right and the wall of the root cellar on the left. We'll grade the walkway so that there will be steps to access the root cellar door that will be on the left outer wall in the middle (see the gap?)
Hi Todd and Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWe are still in awe as the work progresses. Hiring help was a wonderful idea. We hope, Todd, that your back holds on. Both of you, please know that our kitchen and/or laundry facilities are available. Justin (from Meadowbrook) might be staying at the house as when we left he didn't have an apt. We offered our house while we were gone. So, don't be surprised if a strange truck is there. Love to all (that includes Sprout, of course).
