2nd roof overhangs

Today the plywood sheathing and blocking was finished, inspected, and passed.  Then, they started work on the 8:12 overhang on one side.  Assume they will finish on the other side tomorrow and also start with the drainwrap tomorrow.  Expect me to geek out with that as it is a really cool product.

More framing work

No work done yesterday due to the high winds.

Today, the 2nd water line inspection passed, so backfill can proceed now.  Expect that to happen in the next few days.

Today's framing work was continuing to build the roof overhangs and installing the roof decking over the front dormer.  There are a few spots remaining but overall most of the roof decking is now complete.  Also, most of the remaining ceiling joists have now been installed.

Expect demo on the porch dormer portion to begin tomorrow or Thursday.

There is actually quite a bit of space in these little "nooks" at the front of the home.  Good for storage space!

The roof overhang brackets arrived today.  They will be installed after all of the exterior wall sheathing is in place.

Roof framing nearly complete

Continued work today on the roof framing, in particular the overhangs.  Also they've started putting down the roof decking (5/8" OSB).

Depending on weather tomorrow we should hopefully get a bunch more of the work done.  But, it may end up being a day for just taking care of random issues inside.

Miscellaneous Day

The days sort of blur together when there's not anything absolutely monumental happening.

Anyways, today the chimney was finished up and they also drilled the holes in the concrete foundation to run my 4" sewer line and 1.5" sump pump discharge.  That means I can go ahead and finish my sewer line install and get the remaining dirt piles out of the backyard.

They also removed the old driveway apron/curb area and smoothed out the area and filled with new concrete.

About half of the 2nd floor ceiling joists (2x8s) were installed today.  I assume the other half will be installed tomorrow?

Also they began work on the roof overhangs.

Finished chimeny.  Yes, one of the flues is supposed to be higher than the other.

Roof framing nearly complete

Most of the roof framing has been completed.  They have started working on framing out the roof overhangs which go all the way around the roof.  They also need to do some more 8:12 pitched areas as well as finish building out some of the walls whose ceilings will be angled in spots.

Also, concrete company came today to begin work on the chimney.  They should be finishing tomorrow, which is good because we need their scaffolding out of the way so that the roof overhang on that side of the home can be built.

There are another 3-4 courses of CMU and clay flue that will be added on tomorrow.  The chimney must be at least 2 feet taller than any roof surface within 10 feet horizontally.
