Roofing, Framing, and Sheathing

The last piece of OSB is installed. This particular section was tough because we had to accommodate for two different angles.

Side view showing all three clear story windows and the overhang of the eaves.

The clear story window looking into Ms Hargroves bedroom.

The last section of roof will be covered as soon as the next series of rafters are installed.

The roof felt is nailed in before the metal sheets are secured to the roof.

View from the roof looking at the porch. The form work for the porch is being prepared for the concrete.

The wall, which separates the attic from the hall is notched into the rafters.

This is the frame work for the HVAC duct.

Boards are nailed in between the studs to make a pocket for the spray insulation.

Quarter Break Part 2

Unnecessary use of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length on a panel.

View into the soon to be attic space. The HVAC system will straddle the wall between the bathroom and closet.

Three students and Ms Hargrove help secure a board, which will later be used in blocking off the attic space from the hall.

View looking over the eaves of the upper roof.

Chris working on the over hang at the back of the house.

View at the back of the trailer. All the materials had to be reorganized to make room for the metal roofing supply.

View at the front of the trailer. (clean as its ever been..)

The roofing material as it arrives.

The metal strips are divided up and stored in the trailer

6:30 PM its time to go home and sleep.

Quarter Break Part 1

The house at the beginning of the day. Mostly exposed framing.

The front entrance after sheathing. The OSB is measured and cut to fit the appropriate size then nailed directly into the studs.

Looking above the washroom, Chris is nailing supports for the interior walls.

View looking towards the drop ceiling for the bathroom

Chad bravely walks the rafters

Allen working hard to put up OSB above the window in the kitchen.
