Installation of the finish roofing panels started today.  They were loaded onto the roof over a week ago but high wind and rain prevented any further work.  This is the "finished" roof.

2017 02 08 Pantry and Studio Stairs Framing ..

Below, three photos of north side of kitchen work area with pantry behind.  Pantry space "bumps out" on the north side of house.




Below, stairs up to storage over master bath and laundry area.


Below, stairs up to mezzanine, hatch into crawlspace.  The crawlspace is tall enough to stand in, aside from the foundation piers that you have to step over.



Below, two shots of mezzanine. first looking southeast, second looking west.



Looking up at mezzanine wall.  Stairs just to left out of frame.

First shot below, beginning to frame the low wall along the studio mezzanine.  This will run above the ladder as well.  If you look closely in all of these photos you will see signs that the electricians are starting to pull wire.  So far most of their work has been below the floor.


Below, two shots looking at the chase at the west end of the gallery area.  This will be full of electrical and HVAC.



Below, looking southeast from the guest bedroom.  I just like this shot.


Below, looking east in the main living space.  The kitchen/pantry area is being framed to the far left.

2017 01 24 House in Snow .. 

These were all taken just to show the house in the snow.


The jackrabbit tracks are all over the place, the coyotes tend to make trails and stay in them.





Below, two shots looking SE through the living space.



Below, looking east along the deck.


Below, looking west through the "gallery" space.  You can see the half wall on the west end being built.  The framing has the red edges.  This wall / chase will hold a lot of electrical and HVAC.

Some more progress photos as interior framing proceeds..

Below, a shot of the central living space in the house.   The weather for most of January has been very wet and windy.  Parts of the Sierra Nevada just west of here received 25 feet of snow through the month.


Below, looking into the guest/office at the two adjoining baths being framed.


Below, looking from the master bedroom past the bath / laundry into the central living space.


Below, two shots of the "gallery" area on the north side of the house, adjacent to the guest/office and guest room.  There are two walls that will project into this space, on the east and west.  Those walls will actually be "chase" spaces that will hold electric and HVAC.  They will also function to make this into more of a separate room.  First photo looks more or less west.


Below, looking east.
