Shapes

When the images were only of the walls without the sheathing material and or the roof without the decking, the shape and size of the addition appeared misleading. With both the wall sheathing and the roof on the full addition is truly noticable. To put things in scale and perspective, the white sign above the garage is 4'-0" wide and 2'-6" tall.


This close up is similar to a previous posting but now that it has the sheathing it looks that much bigger!!

To fully represent this elevation I wish that the doors and windows were in. That would again change the look and feel of the back.

Finally this image shows the different changes in the building planes. The 2x6" boards leaning on the bottom corner of the house are 8'-0" long.






The Garage

Slowly but surely the structure is coming together. Beeline was able to get the walls started for the garage so that will;
a) clean the driveway of the last building materials and
b) get the last of the building in place.

Below is a close up of the Gambrel roof trusses of the garage. Yes that is a barn shape and yes the exterior will be barn red.
