Most of the Main floor work has been completed and the second storey structure is taking shape. The first three trusses above the first back bedroom are shown peaking above the existing house. The rest of the normal walls are seen around the perimeter of the two south bedrooms above. I say normal as the north wall will have a 5 degree pitch out and does require some thought and calculation as to how it will be built.
The southern portion of the addition will be the lowest part of the second level, not much higher than it is showing in the picture below. The garage will need to be framed in but not until the roof trusses are up.

Without the windows and doors the structure has a true box feeling. As soon as the roof trusses are on and the openings in place the building will take a different feel.
Finally the cantilever of the bedroom floor comes out 5'-0". Not only did it allow us to extend the size of the footprint of the second storey but it also creates a great overhang to hide from the rain!

One last thing. If you are heading East along Fermor, when you see the play structure of Papoose Park look left. You should be able to see the house from there.
