Got this email a few
days ago.... [now a few years ago]
"After getting the 20’ 1-1/2 story cottage plans well over a year ago. I finally got it going up. The contractor I hired was pleased with the plans. Easy for him to understand. Will let you know more as it progresses." John McElroy Here are some photos John sent along. |

Here you can see the site built trusses. ![]() Workng the plans! ![]() Looking up into the trusses ![]() Corner bracing and 2x6 framing. Windows going in. ![]() Framing and flashing in place for hip roofed porch ![]() The front porch roof is up. The
builder has installed 4x4 posts rather than the 6x6 shown in the plans.
This is not a problem of strength, but a fatter post is more "friendly"
as well as having better scale. (See Here
for example). 4x4 posts can be easily wrapped with 1x or 2x at a later
date if desired.
![]() Bilco type door to steep stair to basement. Here is the 2nd email and another batch of photos a bit later: "Here it is completed. ~60 days
start to finish. Probably not the best photo but
you can see the front of the house Nice job on the stair and a fine spot for a stacked washer dryer. Kitchen looking out the big window. Looking over the eating bar. The upstairs loft room (as yet unfurnished). |
