Journey to our Dream Home: Week 18: Resume this Program already in Progress

Week 18: We now resume this program already in progress

February 16th, 2011

So after 2 weeks of snow delays we pick back up completing last of the ceiling joists, subflooring and celing rafters over the garage.

Rough interior view of future playroom over the garage

View the the East out the dormer window in the future playroom. This room will not be finished out to begin with.


The hay is gone and it finally looks like a garage instead of a barn

Can't wait to look out the door and see Sullivan and Patrick playing in the yard like this, hopefully with a few less hazards.

The highest peak is now framed. Starting the look not so lop-sided

Sweet Sully and his tractor seeking "muddy" dirt to dig

East side view at sunset. Now the next project is to get a top on that breakfast nook!

Day : End week 18

So we decided to forgo the open feeling of the breakfast nook and put a weather proof ceiling, aka roof on it...and when we did it was even more AWESOME!

We wanted the feel of a sun room here but wanted it to be an integral part of the living space. The peak of the cathedral ceiling is about 15 feet high.

I know it's not quite as impressive in 2-D but once it is finished I hope it will airy and breathable

Noteworthy views of the roofing rafters:

Sometimes when I look it seems like a work of art. I am amazed at the precision it takes to get the corners to come together and actually look like the original plan. I wonder if when the Builders dream at night they just see measurements dancing in their heads...
