7.27.2017

As promised, the picture of the dormer side all finished and painted!  
 
 
Jim started up the back side of the wood shop with insulation.  He has to do some wiring in the corners for the security lights - he's also going to get some 16" insulation batts for the corners.
 

Jim spent quite awhile this morning drilling these ventilation holes for the stairwell into the attic space!  You can tell they are big holes and he had to work at the very end of the attic space so it wasn't real comfortable.  Glad that's off his list!


While he was doing attic work, he did more rigid foam insulation...

 
Then he worked on bringing insulation down from the attic space around the back of the vent stack.
 

 
 

 
 Then insulation on top of the stack area...
 


 
 Putting fiberglass on the rest of the ceiling area in front of the stack...


Making it fit nicely around the stack...


Cutting more rigid foam - Jim wanted to put another layer up in the attic area...

 
Jim used his new bandsaw today and made the first knee brace for the overhang!  He used timber frame joints.  This is what it looks like apart...
 

 
...and together!  He still needs to put a curve on the front but we're thrilled with the way they look - they are going to look so nice when they're all done.  These are important to get finished because then we can finish the siding on the entrance side.
