Merry Christmas everyone!

north roof sheathing

Paul finished off the rest of the sheathing on the north roof amidst 40 kmh winds! My job required me to stay where it was safe and hand him the sheets!

wayward dormer


surveyor found out dormer roof is too high even though it is lower than the main roof which is 1.5 feet lower than the main required height - adjusting the dormer overhang to meet criteria
