Who doesn't know we live in tornado alley? Usually hail, wind, and driving rain all accompany our severe weather in south central Kansas, except this year - we had NO rain. Well, to make a long story short, I quit going to the cellar because of getting beaned on the head by hail, and scared to open the cellar door - so I requested a cover over the cellar to prevent this. My husband never does anything halfway - so below are the pictures as my "cover" is getting constructed! It is going to be a beautiful screened in porch - shaded and ventilated without bugs! :) What a guy!
The beginning - and guess who is "helping". I asked Bruce how he was gonna build it and he said he just has to start and see what happens.
Framing the deck area. Had to revent the dryer.
Temporary plywood flooring to keep the framing underneath dry. Good thing he put it on cause we got
1 1/2 inches of rain after the decking was on.
Stairs will also go toward wash house.
The new composite flooring we got at Starr in Wichita.
NICE.....
Framing the walls..... My work on it has been minimal! Hold the chalkline. Hold this board level - or plum??? Fetch this or that! I'm good at being a gopher....
and now roof joists are in place...
Right now Bruce is out putting the plywood decking on the roof and he is hoping for a warmer day on monday since the roof requires at least 50 degrees for it to seal. Isn't it nice? I'll keep you posted - steps are all temporary for now. The dogs are just now getting to where they'll use them.... Emmy & LT would just jump up on the decking but Penney would run around to the east door. Yep, things are looking great, and I love it! Hopefully the screen doors will be on when everyone is back for Christmas.
