Nov 1-14, dry in and framing finish, almost

House works proceed while while we bask in Edinburgh's midday sun (check those northern shadows!) on a visit to George, which included a US-style road trip of those wide UK backroads. Not! Not wide that is.

On return, the house is "dried in".

New-fangled underlayment used instead of tarpaper really makes a waterproof surface.
The south facing black plastic in the windows below gets toasty in the sun, our first indication that the passive solar will perform.
Upstairs interior framing is done: this view is looking from East bedroom through matching bathroom double doors into sunroom:

View from the sunroom into hall on left and East bathroom on right:

The next step is to get the "subs" in: plumber, electrician and roofer. We are ready for windows but they won't be here for another couple of weeks.

Oct 27-30: let's get this puppy covered!

Empirical design: trying to determine the overhang length through modeling:

All the trusses are up and the rough-cut Eastern Hemlock rafter tails have been installed on the North side.
Get ready to say goodbye to the sky from the upstairs floor.
The sunroom gets its own set of roof trusses:

Tongue-in-grove pine planks are used for the overhang roof (because you'll see it from below). This is then covered with "plywood" decking (actually it's OSB board)

Taking this picture was the first time I felt like I was looking into a house.
