Big Work Weekend, Little Details

This past weekend saw a bunch of little sub-projects get worked on, some even completed. We had a couple questions to ask of the architect, so he came out to the job site on Friday. He pointed out a couple of things that we had over looked and clarified some others. On the west side, he had drawn an ‘eyebrow’ of roof along the whole back 2/3 of the wall. We had done the easy part but had not connected the 2 pieces of the roof ‘eyebrow’. He let us know that the connected eyebrow was an important element of the design on the west side. Also, we have discovered a very nice 8′ x 12′ unfinished attic space. We asked his opinion on some ideas of maximizing that space. He’ll be providing some modified drawings which might include a small 3rd gable in the front.
