Baby Steps are Still Steps

UpdatesBy thfrancishouseFebruary 28, 2017

I know… I know… it looks like nothing much is happening but next week of good weather means full throttle on getting the trusses and wood sheathing in place. We target a roof up by April Fools Day (and that’s no April Fool’s prank !)

The Francis House “Penthouse” Taking Shape

Second section (new angle) of the trusses are up today !    

Chicken Wire (Uncooped)

UpdatesBy thfrancishouseFebruary 21, 2017

Contemplating this beveled glass design as kitchen cabinet doors until we saw a better, simpler, more apt alternative.   Chicken wire mesh !  

Still “Sheath-ing” on the only Good Day Last Week

UpdatesBy thfrancishouseFebruary 21, 2017

On the only sunny day last week, wooden sheathing has been laid on the trusses. This is the phase we are in and will resume the next time the sun makes its rare appearance.        

Wood Sheathing on Trusses for In Between Rain Days

UpdatesBy thfrancishouseFebruary 14, 2017

More Cloudy Days are Ahead but the Days in Between Rain Are Hustle Days. Like Today. Wood Sheathing on the Trusses has Begun on the 3rd Floor / Mansard Roof. The Areas that are “Holed” are where the Dormer Windows will Go. Feeling Tall-er Already !            

A Break from Construction

UpdatesBy thfrancishouseFebruary 9, 2017

  The wet weather is giving us a break from construction and time for design inspiration. Would love a rear landscape similar to this.
