| This is where we last left you. Roof trusses were being covered with sheathing, floor joists were in, and the piers were starting to get bricks around them. |
 |
| Since then, the roof was shingled and an arch was built for the front of it. We are pleased with how well the new roof ties into the existing roof. |
 |
| This notch at the top of the beam next to the arch will hold a beam tail, part of the trimming. |
 |
| And perhaps the most important thing that happened recently is that we passed the framing inspection, so work can continue. |
 |
| The electrician has begun wiring for lights and ceiling fans. Right now we have six can lights and two ceiling fans planned as well as a couple of new outlets. We may need a new subpanel to handle these. Also, the contractor is pricing some additional lighting and outlets for us now to see if we would like to add them. |
 |
| The mason finished bricking the piers and poured the landing for the steps yesterday. |
 |
| They have added the posts for the railing and begun wrapping all of the exposed wood in Boral board, a composite cement product that should wear very well. |
And that's all she wrote. Until next time...
