Ready for Turkey Dinner

99.99% Complete

Parting Shots

The homeowner has been showering in their new master bath.
Copper gutters set the addition apart from the ordinary.
The custom kitchen cabinets lack only handles.
We started in the spring and are now enjoying the fall colors through the eleven addition windows.

The End is Near

The flooring and exterior painting have been completed; the kitchen cabinets are being installed.

Finishing Touches

We have steps, copper, crown, and window sills.

Interior Work Begins

Little by Little

We keep chipping away-the shingle roof is complete, the insulation is in, and the sheetrock is scheduled. The tile man, copper guy and flooring boys are all waiting in the wings.

Trim Work

Roof Frame

Theater in the Round

The walls get laid out, then assembled and erected.

The Breakthrough

The house didn't fall down and the floor height from new to old is dead on.

Framing The Addition

After two weeks rebuilding/leveling the existing floor system and installing five paralams to secure the two floors above, we finally made it outside to begin framing the addition-hallelujah!

The new foundation is ready to go, but the interior will require work. Numerous joist are rotten and will need to be repaired before we can finish leveling the space. Three support beams will need new posts.

A Sixteen Sided Polygon

It takes a little bit of trigonometry to find the dimensions of one of sixteen equal triangles. A template representing the triangle simplifies the foundation layout.

The footing is complete.
We're counting on a lucky horeshoe to make all things right.
We start again in the ground.

The Inside Story

Waiting For A Spring Painting

The Last Mile

The floor is in. The baseboard heat and baseboard moldings are in. Our punch list is small. With a day of work this week the job will be done and its on to the next. And I am happy to say we have a next.

Here's a shot of the addition from the kitchen.
Two new headers support the loads above.
Inside we go!
