With the steel beam and rafters in place, Nick and his crew began putting the plywood sheathing on the roof and erecting the interior walls. There are many angles to the roof and putting it all together is no small feat. We are lucky to have such amazing framers. These guys really know what they are doing and the quality of their work is outstanding. We couldn’t be happier.

| Nick, King of the Framers |
Initially, we were not going to replace the roof on the old part of the house since it had been reroofed just a few years ago. We changed our mind and are now glad that we made the decision. What we found under the asphalt shingles were wood shingles nailed onto random slats of wood.

| Adding More Support |
In the last picture, you can see that additional support beams have been provided where there were none. Remodeling an old house is much more complex than we had imagined. The old adage, “they don’t build ‘em like that anymore” is probably a good thing!
