The Exterior Takes Shape

November 5: Several days of working on roofing completions has left little for me to see, and publish. Trevor has been detailing the roof, and covering it with tarps to keep it as dry as possible before the roofing specialists show up tomorrow. (Interestingly it is also the same day the township will be working to prep our road for paving.... it all happens at once!) One of the significant roof details is framing of the cover over the patio outside the dining room.  Clean up is happening around the site as well; one set of the scaffolding has been removed from the great room so the wall that will have the fireplace is visible. The outside space is also getting a once over so that the exterior walls are easily accessible for application of the vapour barrier and preparation for the cedar siding. I get to exercise my inner craft kid, and play with stain and cedar slats, to determine the final colouring of the siding......
