New Addition, Framed & Roofed

 

 

Our new addition which will have our Master Bedroom, Bath and a Laundry Room is framed and roofed. We are very happy with our choice of using a 50 year shingle on the house. The thicker shingle gives a great depth to the roof. For just $1,000 more than using 30 year shingles getting 20 more years of roof life and a better look was well worth it. The steel framing for our deck off the Master Bedroom was expensive but required by code since there is a garage underneath. One the upside that deck is never going anywhere. I think you could park a car on it! I also love the roof gables the Architect Steve Nyes designed. Its just little different and adds some character to the house.
On the downside we are still waiting for Northwest Natural Gas to come and move the meter on the front of the house. Waiting and waiting..... it is really holding things up. Oh and Clean Water Services showed up to start their new sewer project behind our house. Oh you can't imagine the big equipment that is in our backyard. Better they get it done now while everything is already a mess.
