After a few months of planning and the delivery of a dumpster into our driveway, construction has officially started! This is a view of what the roof trusses look like prior to construction. The loft room will occupy this are with a dormer window. Having the trusses gives us a pretty good idea what the size of the room will be.
The project started with the demolition of a "perfectly good roof," as Dani called, which felt a little stressful to us.
It felt especially stressful to us as the heavens opened multiple times per week and the rains fell - through the tarps and into the garage.
Hole in the roof #2 was made a week later, and we could see a little better how the bump-out was going to look.
With the dormer roof completed and framing under way, we realize how much this bumped-out space really opens up the room. It adds a lot of square footage and will add a lot of light once it is completed.
The workers are at the house many hours, and Dani makes sure they are fed cookies and Gatorades, and they seem to appreciate it. They're doing a great job.
