Woodstove

It's set except for the chimney, which i ordered weeks ago but has yet to arrive. And it's COLD.

Plumbing

i extended the sewer line into the house.

Firewood

Filled ex-hovel and toolshed with fuel.

3rd Level Walls: Deck Wall

Glass & sliding glass along the deck.

3rd Level Walls: Deck Wall

Framed top of deck wall.

Roof: Complete!

STILL TO DO, SOON: woodstove & chimney, 1 more wall (the one out onto the deck), some framing details (which i skipped to speed progress toward the roof), winterizing water & sewer lines, a few more windows, corner trim, exterior doors, & stockpile materials & supplies for winter (the site is a 0.7-mi ski from where the snowplow stops). LATER: insulation, ceiling, wallboard, stairs, plumbing, electric (required by BuldingDept even tho' i'll have no power), etc. (And, oh yeah, make some $$; i'm broke!)

Roof: Gable Trim Complete

...but still needs a ridge cap.

Roof: Gable Trim

The blue looks really nice against the redwood stain. Alas, the house is so high that one has to climb practically to Gibson Peak to see its roof.

Roof: Final Siding (except porches)

Less & less of that awful green house-wrap.

Rob & Larry wrassled sheet rock & insulation (to be installed this winter) up to upper levels.

(those 2 piles of insulation cost over $1k!)

Roof: Panels Complete

...but still needs cap & trim.

Roof: 'Tahoe Blue'

Hoisting the panels:

Roof-top anchor for the cable:

View of distant 14,000' MtShasta from the roof:

Roof Deck: Underlayment Complete

Roof Deck: Toward Keeping Out the Rain

All ply done...

...& half the felt.

Roof Deck: More Roof, More Rain

POURED rain all day. Rob helped apply the almost-last of the plywood. We got soaked!

Tho the plywood is on, there's required spacing between the sheets, so all the wet dribbles down to levels below.

Roof Deck: Rain!

Yuk!

But the metal roofing has arrived!

Roof Deck: & More Ply

Looking 1 way...
