Awesome.

I've been trying to talk the Mrs. into
a "little" move for some time now.

It's not going well

Re: Current Project


Looks nice and clean. Are those 18" OH's on the gables?

Ainsworth OSB if I'm not mistaken. Loved using the studs they put out. Best I used ever.

BMC West, had them supply many of our frames in Seattle area.

I noticed your roof ply stock area. I always made myself a rough table. 3 vertical legs and 3 flat. Then you can put the ply flat and not have things sliding down the roof. In your situation there (6/12? 7/12?) I would cut 3 2x's@ 48" and 3-2x's@24" or 28", whichever pitch you got there. nail them down to the roof with a rafter or truss underneath. If you are nervous, then throw a kicker on it. I only put about half a bunk on them.
