Another bitter day - Jim and Kyle headed out late morning to continue stairwell work.
This is the area where the half round dormer window will eventually go - but in order to get occupancy, we need to have all the insulation covered. So Jim put up drywall temporarily to cover this space.
Then they got the first sloped ceiling piece on this side up in place...
They beveled the edges of the drywall for a perfect fit into the hip corner...
All fastened...
Next piece up and fastened...
At this point, Julia and I came out to see all the progress. I ended up driving their Jetta out to the property - my car is still encased in snow and ice! So we got to watch them put the first piece on the other side...
They have to work on a single plank above the open stairwell - a bit scary to watch. It was so nice to have Kyle help Jim - this is the 5/8" plywood so it's nice to have someone with strength to help!
Next piece all up and fastened...
Working on top of the sloped wall...
Jim used the Rotozip to cut all the edges around the window opening and they got all the top pieces in place.
Final pics....there's just one little piece left under the window opening but everything else on the sloped walls is done! A great pic from below...
The front view....
Side of the stairwell...
And the back view...
Then it was home where we had a nice ham dinner and watched Storm of the Century (very fitting!). We took a dessert break and shared a traditional holiday beverage in our infamous Moose mugs that Kyle bought us years and years ago (made famous in Christmas Vacation). It was a great holiday with Kyle and Julia and we appreciate them fighting the elements to come visit for a few days!
