2017 01 05 Interior Framing ..

2017 01 05 Interior Framing .. 

Interior framing continues.

The first three are of the storage area above the bath / dressing / laundry area on the west end of the house.  All three shots look more or less east.  This is one of the two areas in the house with a ceiling.  The opening framed into the floor in the first shot is where the stairs will be located.




Following shots are various places in the house.

First two below are looking west into studio end of house.  Large beam running on long axis of house from the left will hold the south side of the mezzanine area.

Garage roof is done.  The single vent is for plumbing.

Garage roof is finished.  The material is called TPO and it is durable and waterproof.  Roof drains in as well, one in each corner.  I learned that the half diamond shaped structure with the very gradual slope is called a "cricket".  It gives the roof some slope so water heads for the drains and doesn't pool.  (As I write this I know how much it will rain and snow in early January!)

You can see the high point of the larger "cricket" in the third photo.  There are two smaller crickets in the outer corners of the roof.

There are three skylights in the garage / shop / storage area.
