I am hoping for an inspection on Monday to get the roof and wall nailing inspected so I can get it weather proof. Came in this morning to a wet floor again. We need to finish the facia, roof and wall sheeting and dormers.  Then all the interior work this winter begins

Not quite ready for the inspection so I will push it off until Wednesday.   A lot of little stuff still need finished. Luckily this week is supposed to stay dry

Looks great!  I can't wait to get to that point. 


Matthewpeace

Thanks,  it's been a real challenge to get to this point.  I was just concerned about the winter this year being bad and starting early

I got the first round of windows in downstairs.  The upstairs windows will be in this week

Goal is to start a small 15x15 in the Spring of 2015.

Today I got the front of the house finished as well as one dormer.  Tomorrow I am hoping to finish the 4 remaining upstairs windows and wrapping the dormers.  Hopefully this week I will have the shingles on and getting ready for the siding to go on.

Matthewpeace



This has been my least favorite part of this project but we are finally completely dry.  Today the electric gets started and the plumbing gets finished.  Inspection for the window flashing tomorrow then siding starts Saturday.  Each part has been a learning experience so far and a lot of common sense.  I used a woven house wrap and  I am not very impressed.  If I did it again I would use tyvek instead

We have a problem.  In order to meet code this is how the stairs lay out.  I have tried may different ways and it just does not seem to fit.  Stairs here have to be 36" wide 7 3/4" max rise and 10" min run. And winders in the landing have to have a 6" minimum on the corners .  I cannot raise the landing because of the clearance between the beam and the second stair.

Does it work the way you have it in the picture?  I don't like a winder step either but sometimes that is what you have to do. 

Matthewpeace

It does not work this way because of the hallway

dablack

I see. 

Ok, yeah, thats a problem.  The room to the right of the hall way opening, can you knock a corner off that room?

Matthewpeace

I have thought of that if I can find a place to re locate the refrigerator.  I will need to cut that wall back 3 feet into the kitchen.
