Framing continues

Yesterday I made a trip over to work on installing lights in the boat house.  While there I took a few pix of the house progress.  The framer has been working on the roof structure and dormer framing mainly, which takes some time due to height and complexity.  He's gotten most of the roof framed, and now decked in with plywood.  There are special nailing requirements for the decking due to high wind loads that the house will experience.  He'll take pictures of the nailing patterns so we can use them to get wind insurance.

Here's a view from my neighbor's yard.  You can see the big center dormer framed up.

Now, directly in front of the house.  There will be a porch across the whole front, but its not yet framed.

The south side view.  A really big porch will be added on this side, to tie into the front porch.  The concrete columns with nothing on top of them will form the base of the porches.

A view of the back of the house.  One of the two big windows will be in a sitting room that adjoins a bedroom, and the other will be over the stairs going to the second floor.  On my trip last week I requested some changes that will open up the stairs and upstairs hallway area, making better use of the natural light from the window.
