It feels like not a whole lot has happened with the house since my last post, but I know that's not the case. Stuff has been done in between rainstorms, hurt backs and crew members being out of town, so progress has been a little slower for the last two weeks. That's okay though, the guys really kicked ass while the weather was good. So here are some not-totally-recent photos... I'll try to take some more when I'm out there tomorrow morning.
That's Dustin under the hat, cutting rafters for Adam and Aaron who are putting them up over the garage.
This is the house as it looked on Feb. 4, 2009.
Adam suggested a notched detail for the rafter tails and the headers over the dormers. He's chiseling out the extra wood in one of the headers here.
This is the house with all of the raftertails sistered on. Originally, we had planned to have the rafters create the eaves, but they ended up being too short. So, Adam contacted the various authorities to see what our options were, and of course, each agency had a different story. Luckily, it came down to the fire marshal, and he gave us the answer we wanted: a 4"x6" sistered on to every other rafter and fire-rated plywood over the overhangs. That's instead of sistering on 2"x12" rafters on every rafter and enclosing it all with Hardisoffit, which would have been more expensive, laborious and ugly.
Here's a closer pic of the notched rafter tails and headers.
