| Standing on the roof looking into the master bathroom window. | It's all starting to come together. | I came home and the garage was gone. |

| The new garage beam is in place. It's about 1 to 2 feet above the old ridge height in order to get the roof to end at the correct wall height at the end of the rafters. | See how the grading goes up in the corner and down on both sides. We may have to lower the grade so you don't hit your head on the rafter tail at the corner. | The shed dormer is framed out in the master bedroom. |

| The north side is being insulated. Behind the wainscoting in the bathroom is a Thermador heater I never knew about. I wonder if it still works. | The window flashing is being put into place. The large beam going through the front door is the header beam for the front of the garage over the garage door. | |

| The side of the shed dormer. | An arch was put into the passageway from the master bedroom to the bath and closet. It will have to come out. There are no arches in the structure. | This window above the stairs will have to be resized. It was not done according to the window schedule but according to the elevation drawings. |

| Rich is increasing the height from 40" to 48". The plan elevation showed all of the windows the same height but the correct number to use would have been the window schedule. | The first electrical work starts. | Notice all of the vents. We need 1 square foot of venting for every 150 square feet of first floor coverage. |

| Chimney and shed dormer. | South side of the dormer. | This was a very complex roof to build. Look at all of the angles and pieces that have to come together. |

| Starting to rebuild the garage walls. There was wood rot and termite damage. | The garage roof takes shape. The roof was simplified so that the front patio overhang flowed into the garage roof at the same elevation. This required the garage ridge to be raised about 18". | Sink plumbing in the master bathroom. |
