Barb and I have begun the process of building an addition to our Cottage. The blog will be a visual and written journal of the progress. There may not be a daily entry but as progress is made posts will be made frequently. Estimates for completion are from four to eight months.

Day 140
Let's all say Ridge Pole...
Today there was a whole bunch of lumber cut with angles and notches...Rafters on the front and back of the roof were nailed into place leaving the dormers and entry foyer to be completed...
Then the plywood goes on top with felt paper on top of the sheathing...
We're close, very close to being "under roof."
With cooperating weather the roof can be done by Friday....
It's now possible to get a more distinct visual idea of the look of the final exterior of the place...
