With the foundation complete the addition started taking shape quickly.
With the realities of real winter weather hitting us this year, getting the structure up – and keeping the cold temperatures from the existing spaces was a challenge. We were able to get the steps, and the concrete porch floor in without too much trouble……but the patio and landscaping is another story.

We are now about to spray foam insulate the roof and walls. The beveled cedar siding looks great. All the corner boards and trim are 5/4” cedar.

The 5-V crimp metal roof also took more effort, particularly at the rakes since it all flares out since the south wall is much longer than the north wall and it shows up on the roof accordingly.
