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.

Are we having fun yet?

The rainy season in Carp is over. But now we are in the misty season — June Gloom. The old roof (sealed with at least 2.5 layers of composition shingle) is 100% removed. We now have the new (larger) roof of plywood. As the mist collects on the roof, it finds all the cracks and crevices that lead to my ceiling. Then the water finds the lowest point and makes its appearance in my living room. Much less water is in the house, but mopping it up still soaked 2 fullsized bath towels.
