Up on the Roof
We’ve finally reached the top of my new house — we’ve started to frame the roof. As you can see in the photos below, the ridge is supported by temporary posts and the first few rafters are up. The main portion of the roof is 12:12 pitch; which is the standard on older homes in town. The pitch will be shallower over the porch and stairwell.
Speaking of the porch — a close look at the photos will show that the floor for the second-story porch has been laid. Yes, it’s mahogany like the first-floor porch. The underside of the second-story mahogany boards are visible and are the ceiling of the first-floor porch. It’s gorgeous.
