The roofing progresses ...

All the trusses are up and they are starting to put some of plywood up. They are also having to do a bunch of hand framing to tie the roof into the existing house. As part of the strategy to "overbuild" the house, we are installing plywood that is one size larger than what is spec'ed (required). This should provide more strength and allow the roofing nails to get more bite.

It's very nice to see such steady progress, the project is progressing at a great pace, I am very glad that we have gone with Steve to do the work. On Friday, they had 10 people working, and although we were not at the house on Saturday, they made much progress. Based on this progress and hoping the weather holds, the addition should be "enclosed" within the next week.

We are starting to figure out about electrical placement, lights, outlets, etc ... as we will need these decisions within the next 10 days. We have everything drawn up, but once the walls are up, it is easier to imagine where things would go and what we would need to put (in terms of power) throughout the rooms.

I'm a believer that small things count, and I must give my kudos to Steve and his crew. They have built a small wooden bridge over the dirt that connects the patio to the pool. They also swept the whole area and graded the dirt around the project. This allows our girls to move in/out of the house without tracking in stuff.
